We are the Valley Arts Alliance!
—Bringing the Community Together Through the Arts...
The Valley Arts Alliance is a group of like-minded individuals in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley of Alaska who have joined together to encourage, sponsor, facilitate and support artistic expression.
We are a place for both new and established artists of all types—painters, sculptors, musicians, and those involved in the performing arts—to network and to experiment with new ideas and media.
We are a non-profit corporation as defined by section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, working with local libraries, schools, museums, art councils, and music and art groups to create more venues for the arts, and to help promote art related events.
