TVAA Board News...
Dear Wonderful Artists,
I am very excited to announce that Leslie Jay Bosch will be the next president of TVAA in 2023! She currently curates our exhibitions at the Nampa Civic Center and has been a TVAA member for many years.
Leslie will do an incredible job as president and I can not think of a better person to pass the TVAA torch to.
Congratulations Leslie!
