Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts

Promoting and facilitating the arts in the Mohawk Valley

Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts (MVCA) is a non-profit organization that promotes and facilitates the arts for residents of the Mohawk Valley. Our vision is to enhance the quality of life by creating opportunities for learning, personal creativity, and artistic expression. Since 1982, MVCA has worked to be a leader and advocate for these arts through education and promotion of interest and understanding of the arts, thereby advancing appreciation of the arts.
