Did you know that you can receive VAN in the post as a VAI Associate Member?

The miniVAN

From gritty urban graffiti to abstract surrealism, The miniVAN deftly navigates the ever-evolving artistic landscape, reflecting the pulse of modern culture.

Inspired by the pioneering spirit of Visual Artists News Sheet, The miniVAN sets out to redefine the landscape of contemporary art, providing a comprehensive platform for both established artists and emerging talents. As we honour the roots of the past, we fervently embrace the spirit of change, envisioning a future where art continues to inspire and challenge the human experience.

Packed with captivating features, exclusive interviews, and thought-provoking editorials, each issue of The miniVAN is a collectible art piece in itself. Readers can expect insider insights, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and a celebration of the unsung heroes shaping the artistic zeitgeist.

The visionary team behind The miniVAN comprises renowned art writers, respected artists and curators, and passionate creatives dedicated to curating an enriching experience for readers and artists alike.

The miniVAN invites you to embark on an extraordinary journey that transcends the boundaries of imagination. Whether you’re an art aficionado, a budding artist, or simply curious about the transformative power of visual expression, The miniVAN promises to ignite your passion and broaden your horizons, bringing you from the inside of an artist’s studio to the wide realm of creative practices that exist outside of how we think of visual art.

VAI Associate Membership is open to those who are not practicing artists – such as curators, writers, academics, art workers and students.

One of the main benefits of VAI Associate Member is that The Visual Artists’ News Sheet (6 issues per year) will be posted directly to your door. (VAI members can also choose to receive paperless, electronic copies of the VAN).

As well as delivery of the VAN, Associate Membership offers access to a range of other benefits, including reduced rates on equipment hire, reduced fees for workshops and events (as part of VAI’s Lifelong Learning Programme) and access to an archive of pre-recorded webinars, panel discussions and talks.

Further details on VAI membership options and rates can be found here.

Alternatively, to discuss VAI membership options, please contact VAI Membership Officer, Siobhán Mooney: siobhan@visualartists.ie
