Support the Arts in the Valley

We are the Valley Arts Council. A 501c-3, Non-profit Arts organization . The Valley Arts Council was formed for the purpose of creating and promoting a connecting thread between those among us who are artists and those who have an interest in experiencing the arts. Sometimes the only difference between a life full of art, and a life void of art, is the simple accessibility of the arts. Our mission is to ensure that the contribution that the arts can make to one's life is recognized, valued, promoted and realized in the lives of all Valley residents. Unfortunately we represent a region often ignored by the State ...because they would rather give it to those areas that don't need it. We been in operation for about 14 years and we have touched so many lives and yet we have many more communities to help. We operate our Children's Art programs at little or no cost to the children... We often have to decide between teaching in the dark, using a room with little or no heat before we would tell a child they cannot have art. We have some major projects in the making which include a large community mozaic mural in Ansonia. This ambitious project will involve the Ansonia students and seniors in the Area. the mural is slated for the corner of Bridge street and Main St. in downtown Ansonia. We need funding and supplies! Please help keep the arts Alive in our region.
