Support Valley Art Center


We rely on people like you

Valley Art Center is a creative community that depends on members, volunteers, donors, and sponsors. We encourage you to join our membership, give what you can, and even consider becoming an event sponsor. And we hope you’ll be among the hundreds of individuals who volunteer time, talent, and expertise to ensure that our programs, events, and facilities run smoothly. If volunteering isn't your thing, you can still help us out by leaving a positive rating on our Facebook and Google pages. Playing a role in the arts is a rewarding experience that keeps VAC patrons and volunteers returning to lend a hand again and again!

An easy way you can support us is through the AmazonSmiles program. Follow the link below and select Valley Art Center Inc as your beneficiary of choice. Then just do your normal Amazon shopping through the AmazonSmiles platform and .5% of your purchase will be donated directly to Valley Art Center. 

​Thanks to the thoughtful work of our strategic planning committee, Valley Art Center has a 3 year plan that will take us through our 50th anniversary into 2022.
