I wish to pursue, art…

“I am a current student at Lewisville High school going into my senior year and I am looking for opportunities in the career field I wish to pursue, art. More specifically I wish to major in art history and education and to one day become a curator. I was hoping that VAL would be able to assist me by not only letting me become a member, but to also allow me to help them by volunteering to work at the gallery whenever needed. I am having one difficulty with membership, I do not know where I might find an application. If someone in the organization could be so kind as to help me with acquiring an application and contacting me for volunteer opportunities wherever I am needed. Thank you so much for your time!” — Sara
