CULTURE IS COMMUNITY

We all have something to share

The VCA is committed to the inclusion of the arts in everyday public life. We host, support, and promote events aimed at entertaining and enriching our community, from film showings to nature hikes. It's how (and why) we #LOVermillion. 


SUPPORT MOVIE MAGIC IN VERMILLION

Your local nonprofit theater now features a top-of-the-line laser projector in our side 1 auditorium. To celebrate—and help pay for!—this gorgeous upgrade, join us for exclusive screenings of movies about movies that span the age of cinema. Each ticket includes a small popcorn and themed beverage.

What's different about laser projection? The laser experience immerses you in vibrant color and unmatched clarity. Even old classics like this one are bright and crisp on screen.

Purchasing the laser projector was an unplanned expense that stretched our finances, so we're hoping to welcome over 20 guests per movie to help recoup some cost as well as spread the news about the new technology. We're already blown away by how cool it is.


Mysterious Discovery in Jordan

USD professor and photographer John Banasiak is our first exhibiting artist of 2025. This collection of Van Dyke brown prints is full of mystery and almost unease, curated as they are from what Banasiak describes as a dream-like journey in Jordan.* An additional curiosity: the 1840s iron-based emulsion process used to develop them doesn't require a dark room. The show is on display at the Coyote Gallery attached to the Coyote Twin Theater in Vermillion until February 28.

The artist exhibition reception Saturday, Feb 8, from 2pm to 5pm in the Coyote Gallery. You're invited to attend the reception and ask more about these mysteries! Light refreshments provided.
