Mad River Valley Arts is a small town hub for big creative exchange. Our mission is to share diverse exhibition experiences through contemporary visual arts, and interdisciplinary design. We facilitate educational opportunities such as workshops, artist talks, tours and community activities for all Valley art appreciators, artists, residents and Vermont visitors in connection to our year round exhibition and event programs.
Inspirited by the sweeping natural panorama of our gentle mountain range, and anchored by our winding 'Mad' River,
MRVA values the social responsibility of linking art to people; together across boundaries, to balance voices and open multiple perspectives. We operate with the understanding that art supports the agency to create story, a sense of belonging, and is a means to synchronize ourselves with the natural world.
HAND,HEART
and MIND
Design is in you.
We champion the creative potential of contemporary art and design in Vermont. "Make art a daily practice". We believe everyone is creative, united by a passion for beauty in art and design and an instinct to relate with the world around them.
Here in the heart of the Valley we are a space for encountering new forms of interdisciplinary arts and design and to be accessible to all communities of all ages.
We are a non-profit art organization that values the trust and loyalty of our constituents and we seek to nurture them while forging new partnerships for long term sustainability.
