All Members Show Art Hanging is Sunday, May 5th, 2 pm

The All Members Show art hanging has been rescheduled for Sunday, May 5, with reception on Friday, May 10. This is an ALL MEMBERS show. Each artist should bring 2 pictures, framed per specifications recently published on the website. The time has been changed to 2:00 pm because 1:00 pm was inconvenient for many people. Questions? Call Richard McClintock, 434-390-5015.

Artists Reception Rescheduled to May 10th, 6 - 8 pm

There will be an Artists Reception at Riverside Cafe, on May 10th, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.

Please bring a savory or a sweet bite, and CVA will provide the beverages.

We Had a Great Day!!!

If you did not come, you missed a great time!

The weather was slightly cool, but the rain gave way early on, and the people came in droves. Several booth vendors said that it was a great event and sales were good. Several visitors suggested it be an annual event.

We Still Need You!!!

The CVA needs active members in order to exist and thrive. There are things the CVA does that without the help of volunteers would not be successful. 

• Without volunteers, nobody would arrange for and supply the hospitality at CVA Artists Receptions (This one has been filled by Tom and Marianne Dennison--Thanks You Dennisons!)
• Without volunteers, nobody would orchestrate the Art Pick Up and Drop Off Events and hang the art for our exhibitions
• Without artists providing art, there would be no exhibits
• Without CVA Artists signing up for Booths at the Art Walk, the Art Walk may not be successful
• Without volunteers to help us on the day of the Art Walk, the event may not be well run or successful
• Without people signing up for workshops or attending lectures, we cannot expect people to volunteer to arrange for these events 
• Without your participation, the CVA cannot thrive and may cease to exist. If more of us pitch in, the workload is smaller. 

Won't you consider being more active in the CVA? Please reply to this email to volunteer or find out where you can fit into the CVA as a volunteer!

Sales Tax Reminder

Artists are responsible for paying sales tax to the Commonwealth of Virginia on art sale proceeds.

Here is a link to the Virginia Temporary Sales Tax payment eForm. This form is also available on the CVA website on the "CVA Artist Exhibition Forms" page. If you sell more than three times in a year, you will need to register with the VA Department of Taxation.

In the case of Riverside Café sales, Riverside collects the sales tax from the buyer, The CVA then distributes to the artist their 70% share of the sale plus 100% of the sales tax collected. 25% of the Riverside Café sales goes to Riverside Café, and 5% goes to the CVA.
