VAE Events and Exhibitions highlight the talented work of our students, our partnerships and the creative minds of many others whether they think they are artists or not.
At age 12, I was invited to VAE for what I considered my very first “real” concert, i.e. of my own planning rather than with a school orchestra.
I can’t remember the event that we were opening for, but I remember being incredibly proud of that opportunity.
