Growing Arts & Culture in the West Valley

Our Programs

Dynamic Offerings to Serve the West Valley

IMPRINT

Specifically designed to recognize artists of color in and around the valley, this program seeks to highlight their culture and contributions through ongoing exhibitions, workshops and lectures.

Gallery 37

WVAC's summer youth public art program. For five-weeks, students work with a professional artist to design, develop and install a permanent piece of public art for a West Valley city.

Make Music Day

Make Music West Valley is an annual region-wide festival designed to showcase local musical talent and inspire others to play and participate in making music.

Creative Aging

A program designed for participants ages 55 and up. Here at West Valley Arts, we seek to especially serve seniors with limited resources so they too have access to the benefits of the arts.

Arts HQ Gallery

The Arts HQ Gallery is one of the West Valley’s premier exhibition spaces located in the heart of Surprise, Arizona. The gallery is focused on providing innovative, diverse, and intentional art experiences that are educational and accessible to all people.

Our exhibits are free and open to the public; primarily relying on the generosity and support of sponsors, donors, patrons, and all who recognize the importance of the arts.

Community Voices

“WVAC creates a space where strangers meet, kids explore, and creativity feels accessible and joyful. It’s become one of the places our community feel most free to express themselves.”
“Volunteering with WVAC has been incredibly meaningful. I’ve met so many inspiring people and I love knowing that my time contributes directly to a more connected, community.”
“Being an artist roster member feels like joining a living arts ecosystem. Instead of being told what art ‘should’ be, I feel invited to bring my own voice and perspective."
