VCA Access connects art lovers, collectors and philanthropists with VCA students, Alumni artists and their representing galleries. As a community, we fund and gift the annual Masters Mentoring, VCA Art Award and meet throughout the year to engage in art conversation in artist studios and gallery spaces.
Each year, five students are selected to take part in VCA Access. They are matched with a prominent VCA alumni artist (‘Mentor’) and their representing gallery. Mentors provide the tools and experience to help their student understand, develop and promote a sustainable art practice. They also share career advice and practical support to navigate the complexities of a commercial career, including dealing with local and international dealers, galleries and art fairs.
Now in its seventh year, VCA Access has fostered relationships between over 30 emerging and established artists and galleries.
VCA Access membership is open to everyone. Your financial support in majority funds the program.
