The VSA is a registered 501c(3) non-profit organization that adheres to strict accounting and reporting standards for the benefit of stakeholders. And while we’re always working on ways to make The VSA an indispensable resource, here’s what your membership dollars make possible right now:

• Online access to every historical issue of The VSA Journals, our legacy publication
• Issues of The Scroll, our current flagship publication, delivered to your doorstep
• Eligibility to join the New Instrument Exhibit, an annual non-competitive showcase to promote your making
• Eligibility to enter The VSA Competition, the biannual contest for new making

• Discounted subscriptions to:

Renewing your membership in 2025 will not only help guarantee the work we’re already doing to promote the art and science of making, repairing, and preserving string instruments and their bows. It will help us plan the future of the organization with sustainable financial resources.

Lastly, the very best way to have an impact beyond your membership fees is to get involved. We welcome your experiential giving as a convention volunteer, publications contributor, presenter, or committee and board member for the shared benefit of the organization. Please join us to support the mission beyond your membership dues at any time.

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors
