# Visual Arts Society
Visual Arts Society (VAS) is a community that engages creatively in a variety of art forms, providing students with an avenue to express themselves and unwind through several events throughout the semester, as well as our flagship event of Artober! VAS hopes to make the arts approachable and enjoyable for students of all levels of experience and foster a welcoming space where students can experiment and connect with others.

### ARTOBER
Artober is an annual, month-long celebration of the arts hosted by NUS College Visual Arts Society (VAS). Taking place throughout the entire month of October, Artober provides an accessible and inclusive space for both NUS College and NUS students to experience and engage creatively in the arts. Through collaboration with student groups and individual GUIPs to feature a diverse range of small-group activities/workshops/performances across various artistic forms (such as but not limited to: performing, visual, literary), Artober aims to build a community that engages creatively in the arts.
AY25/26’s Artober theme was DepARTure, and it saw 24 events take place over 4 weeks, offering a diverse mix of artistic forms for the student community. From food writing and ketupat making to tie-dye, screenplay writing, and gingerbread decorating, DepARTure encouraged participants to take a break from academics while discovering new ways of expressing themselves!

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://nuscwiki.gitbook.io/25-26/student-life/interest-groups/socio-cultural/visual-arts-society.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
