JMHS Senior Chloe Dehn was the featured artist at VAS’s 3rd Thursday Open House on March 20, 2025. Chloe is a Gold Key Art Portfolio recipient and the winner of VAS’s annual $1000 award. This award, which is funded by the Gorrell family, honors the memory of longtime VAS member and well-known local artist and teacher Jeff Gorrell.

Our 3rd Thursday open houses are the place to meet other art lovers for a bite to eat and some friendly conversation. Every attendee receives a free raffle ticket-the winner can select on of the artworks in our corridor display marked with a star. We always look forward to seeing you at our 3rd Thursday Open Houses.
