Welcome
VAGA, The Visual Arts and Galleries Association, is a leading independent body and UK-wide professional network promoting the visual arts and representing the interests of organisations and individuals working in all aspects of their presentation and development. Our UK wide membership bridges the creative, arts and museum sectors - join today and help to shape the future.
Our vision is to help create a society that has a right to art at its core, with opportunities for all to enjoy the visual arts, to engage with the work of contemporary artists and to find new ways for individual creative expression.
The visual arts offer enjoyment, stimulate the imagination, engender new thinking and deepen understanding of ourselves, others and our globally-connected world. Throughout the UK galleries, museums and visual arts organisations - large and small, permanent and temporary - and the artists with whom they work, promote the art of today. Exhibitions, collections, art in the public realm, live art, biennials, publishing, broadcast and new media, artists interventions and wide ranging partnerships and collaborations across society enrich and transform individual lives and communities. Artists and the organisations that support their work make a significant and dynamic contribution to economic prosperity, to fostering a creative and innovative workforce and furthering equity and social justice.
