All those living or working in Hertfordshire who are actively involved in the visual arts, professionally or part time, are warmly welcomed as members of HVA

Here's the process:

• First, sign up with the website

• Next, register as a Herts Visual Arts member

• If you wish to enter for the Open Studios you will need a strong image and a short paragraph of text.

Once you are a registered member, you may upload a biography, an image of yourself at work and 15 images for your free on-line gallery.
