It started as a project with a handful of artist friends in 2009, the circle grew exponentially since then and we have now over 500 of the best artists of the genre around the globe. A scam on social networks like Facebook that solicited artists to pay for being on a (now defunct) website prompted me to prove that artists do not need to fork over hard earned money to be featured and promoted. The VAG survives on artist donations and some small ad revenue.
Since then, we are associated with several art communities and organisations that promote and organize exhibitions around the world.
