WVAC is the only regional organization that focuses on all disciplines of the arts and programs over 100 events annually including: performances, exhibits, lectures and professional development for arts teachers, artists and art organizations.

The West Valley Arts Council was incorporated as the Cultural Arts Society West in 1969, and changed its name to the West Valley Fine Arts Council in 1989 to reflect a broader, more inclusive vision. It became the West Valley Arts Council (WVAC) in 2004. WVAC has been central to creating what is recognized as a “high quality of life” for West Valley residents, and is the only multi-disciplinary arts organization of its type and scope in the Valley.
