 New Beginnings Party

The New Beginnings Party was Sunday, January 18, 2026, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm, at Estate Furnishings, 213 N. Main Street, Farmville, VA. Special thanks to Laurie and Laura for their warm hospitality on a raining turned snowy day!

Elections were held and Donna McRae-Jones and Donna Taylor were reelected to a three year term on the Board of Trustees. The following Officers were reelected to one year terms: Livia Barros-Gonzalez, President; Deborah McClintock, Vice President; Pat Howe, Secretary, and Paul Hoffman, Treasurer.

Special thanks to Robin Sedgewick for her years of service as President and Past President. This year the Nominating Committee consulted the Bylaws and learned there is no Board position for Past President, so regretfully we are losing Robin as a Board member.

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.
