Sharing Artists’ Successes & What’s Coming in 2027

Tuesday 8 December | 14:00 GMT | Online | Free

This is one of our favourite sessions of the year and the one that reminds us why we do what we do.

As 2026 draws to a close, we are bringing the VAA community together to celebrate the artists who have shown up, taken risks, and built something meaningful this year. We will hear directly from members about the moments that mattered – the exhibitions, the sales, the breakthroughs, and the lessons learned along the way.

And because every great year deserves an even better one to follow, we will also be sharing an exciting first look at what the VAA has planned for 2027.

Whether you have had a landmark year or one of quiet, steady progress – this is a conversation worth being part of.

Full speaker details to be announced shortly.

What to expect

• VAA members sharing real highlights and turning points from their 2026
• Honest reflections on what it means to keep building a creative career
• A first look at the VAA programme and opportunities for 2027
• An open, warm conversation to close out the year together

Who is this for?

All artists – members and non-members welcome. Come ready to be inspired, reflect on your own year, and go into 2027 with renewed energy and direction.
