Imagine a VISAC that’s easier to find, easier to access, and welcoming to everyone.
That’s exactly what we’re working toward.
VISAC Gallery has begun a Facility Needs Assessment to better understand how our space can serve the entire Lower Columbia region. Through community feedback, we’ll identify barriers, explore opportunities, and create a vision for a more accessible future. Findings will inform recommendations to either improve the current space or pursue relocation, potentially in partnership with the City of Trail’s downtown development initiative.
Over the coming months, we’ll be inviting community members to participate in surveys, focus groups, and conversations. There will be honoraria and supports available to ensure fair participation. We hope you’ll join us.
Art belongs to everyone, and your voice can help shape where we go next.

The Inclusion Canvas
The Inclusion Canvas is a celebration of creative expression, visibility, and true belonging. This annual showcase brings together a vibrant collection of works by adult artists from Trail Associated Community Living (TACL), providing a dedicated platform to amplify their voices and honor their unique artistic journeys.
Art possesses a rare capacity to transcend barriers and build bridges where words sometimes fall short. For these creators, The Inclusion Canvas is more than an exhibition, it is a vital milestone and a profound opportunity to claim space in the cultural heart of our community. Each piece on display reflects an individual perspective and a story told with absolute authenticity.
By bringing these diverse voices into the spotlight, this exhibition invites families, friends, and neighbors to engage with the art of true inclusion. We are reminded that a community is at its strongest, richest, and most beautiful when every artist is given the room to create, and every individual is fully seen.
