Visual Arts Scotland puts contemporary applied arts and design disciplines and their relationship with contemporary fine art at the heart of the debate. We are seeking submissions from artists, makers and designers working in all disciplines for our 2019 Annual Exhibition. VAS represents artists in all fine and applied art disciplines, and seeks to explore the middle ground between the two with its diverse and varied annual exhibition.
