Our hope is to continue your success... the gallery succeeds if you, the artist, succeeds.
August in Texas is sizzling, and so is the art at Vantage Point!
We want to take a moment to thank you for your incredible contributions to Vantage Point Art Gallery. Your creativity and dedication are what make this space so special. It truly takes all of us working together to bring the magic of art to life, and we couldn’t do it without you.
As we move into August, we have some exciting events and opportunities lined up that we’re thrilled to share with you.
Even though we’re in the midst of the hottest month of the year, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about fall! As the seasons change, so do the themes and tones that resonate with art lovers. We encourage you to channel the upcoming fall and winter vibes into your creations, keeping in mind that these are our busiest seasons at the gallery. Your work can capture the essence of autumn’s beauty or the warmth of winter, offering a refreshing contrast to the current heat. Let’s get ahead of the season and create something that will truly captivate as the cooler months roll in!
We also encourage you to engage in our events and actively promote your art both on social media and in person. Building a connection with potential buyers greatly increases the likelihood of sales.

Depot Day in October!
• Where: Gainesville Farmers Market - 201 N. Chestnut St., Gainesville, TX
• When: Saturday, October 12, 2024 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Information website: https://gainesvillecofc.com/depot-day-festival/
We’re excited to announce that Vantage Point will have a vendor booth at The Depot Day event, and we’re looking for artists to join us in showcasing their work! We believe that with 9 artists, we can share the space and divide the booth cost, making it affordable for everyone. Each artist will have half a table to display a few pieces, or a display screen and can use this opportunity to guide visitors back to the gallery to see more of their work. This is a fantastic chance to gain exposure and connect with potential buyers in a lively setting. Space is limited, and it’s first come, first serve, so let us know if you’re interested in participating. More details will follow!
