History

The VSAA was established in 1996. The building originally housed Shumway Junior High School. Leslie Durst has been a substantial donor to VSAA since its beginning, aiding in the well being of the arts and the school. A notable piece of the building, the Royal Durst Theatre was funded by Leslie and named after her father. Recently, she even funded the replacement of the seats in the Royal Durst theatre.[10] Leslie continues to be a part in helping art students succeed by giving out the Leslie B. Durst scholarship to VSAA students that will continue to pursue the arts in college.[11]
