WiVLA Houston
WIVLA is a nurturing place for sharing and growth, where visual artists, writers, and other creatives meet in an atmosphere of support and mutual respect.
WIVLA began with a dialogue among three women (a writer, an artist, and an art consultant) who were members of a professional businesswomen's group. Recognizing the organization’s benefits of intellectual stimulation, camaraderie, and networking, these friends envisioned a similar group for women artists and writers.
