Carmel Valley Art Association

Mission

The Carmel Valley Art Association (CVAA) is a vital hub for local artists. Our mission: Explore, Educate, Foster, Promote, and Create. As a rural community with limited art resources, CVAA fills a crucial need. We showcase local talent in our gallery and extend art experiences to all ages.

The Big Idea

Ignite Young Creativity: Free Art for Kids!!

Carmel Valley Art Association's "Just for Kids" workshops empower ALL children to explore art! Led by experienced artist-educators, these free workshops use diverse mediums like painting and sculpting to spark creativity in a fun, interactive environment.

We partner with local organizations like Friends of Carmel Valley Library, Carmel Valley Youth Center and Tatum’s Treehouse to reach a wider audience. Our engaging summer series and after-school programs provide ongoing opportunities for artistic exploration. Invest in the future of art - support "Just for Kids" Free Art Workshops.

So many artists, so many small business owners, so many children interested in art and so many remote families in our community who cannot access facilities, talent and education that is prominent in our urban areas. Carmel Valley Art Association is the conduit to accessible art education, giving children the joy of creativity, while providing the economic venue for local artists to create, display and sell their pieces. Join me in supporting CVAA, the true heART of Carmel Valley!!
