The Mercer Island Visual Arts League supports the visual arts of its members and our community. MIVAL has been involved for more than 50 years creating community through the visual arts. We welcome all artists, all mediums, and all levels of interest. Monthly meetings with guest speakers are held each month. Special art shows such as Summer Celebration, Junior Art Show, and the Holiday Show as well as MIVAL Gallery, support all artists and their endeavors. Proceeds from these events support annual visual arts scholarships to MI High School. MIVAL has been a charitable organization since 1961.
MIVAL Gallery
The gallery opened in November 2009 and operates in the spirit of a cooperative, offering members the opportunity to exhibit their work, as well as share ideas, work together, and teach.
Our goal is to offer gallery space and visibility for MIVAL members, as well as increase awareness and appreciation of the visual arts in the community through classes and demonstrations. We also have an annual Treasures in Miniature Show, which is an OPEN Call to all artists.
