Great news! Central Virginia Arts has partnered with Grouper, an organization that is leading a movement that encourages healthy living through meaningful social connections and shared experiences. Grouper provides benefits to eligible members aged 65 and older for staying active in their communities. Staying socially active in group activities has proven health benefits, according to the U.S. Surgeon General. It is especially important for older adults, who have above-average risks of social isolation.

Here’s what Grouper offers:

• Easy sign-up with two simple questions
• $50 upfront just for having an eligible plan
• $20 every 3 months for reporting your in-person activities
• Access to a monthly newsletter featuring members, group leaders and the impact they are having on their communities.

Grouper is not a health insurance company, and they do not sell health insurance to members. They partner with health plans that offer activity benefits to their members and encourage healthy and meaningful connections to members like you through group activities.

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.
