VAA Gallery Curator Janice Mallman says, "Susan has played a major role in developing the Archives sale into a much-anticipated event. We skipped 2012, and look forward to seeing what Island artists will bring in. It’s a great opportunity for artists too, who receive 60% of the sale from their art."
