The Farmington Valley Arts Center (FVAC) was incorporated in 1974 as a not-for-profit organization. In the belief that artistic expression and creativity are vital to daily life, FVAC connects the community to the creative process through arts education for people of all ages, support and encouragement of working artists, and serving as a community resource for exposure of the arts. The Arts Center is a vibrant arts community that enables visitors to experience the entire creative process, from seeing artists at work to viewing finished creations in a gallery to learning the skills necessary to create works of their own.
