VAALA's Headline News: VAALA Studio is a dream come true!!
The much anticipated VAALA Studio is finally becoming a reality!! VAALA Studio has been a dream in the making for many years and at last, Little Saigon's creative community will soon have a centralized place to blossom from.
Fall 2005 was a season of mounting excitement as we watched VAALA Studio take form within Giano Architectural Designs' renditions. Beginning summer 2006, VAALA will begin the fundraising campaign for the renovation. Please keep your eyes and ears peeled for more news and events from us!
Volunteers are like diamonds and platinum gold to us, so please let us know if you are interested in participating in any of VAALA's upcoming events. We are also looking for corporate sponsorships so if your business or employer has a charitable contribution program, we want to know! Your individual support and contributions are also very welcome, so please visit our Support page to find out how you can personally help make this dream come true!
