Artist participation in the community is not about, "How can my community help me sell more art?", but about "How can I make my community stronger and more vital through engagement with the arts?"
Kristen Schall by Jami Butler
Did you know that the visual arts in the Tri-Valley is built almost exclusively by an army of volunteers? That means that if you want the visual arts to not only survive but to thrive in full blooming color, you need to to volunteer whenever and where ever you can
Growing the arts is not a spectator sport but one that requires action and grows faster and stronger when more people work together doing what they believe in.
AVA believes that volunteers give more willingly their time when they work on projects they believe in. AVA lets artists and their local associations work together, on projects they define to expand the visual arts in the Tri-Valley.
AVA provides the coordination and support, the gathering place so to speak, for growing the visual arts in the Tri-Valley.
