Click here for gallery exhibits. 2010 Student/Faculty Show June 26th - July 29th We at the Valley Art Center believe there is considerable value in honoring a pupil’s artistic expression. Viewing one’s own artwork in a gallery setting instills confidence and camaraderie with fellow artists. Parents gain pride when they see their children’s endeavors in visual expression. Instructors, who often keep their own work out of the classroom, are also given an opportunity to display their craftsmanship. Viewing one’s art alongside other’s work is important for an artist. There is a responsibility to share our view of the world with our community. This is what the Valley Art Center is all about! Presenting, promoting, and teaching the arts. The gallery will display over 70 works of art created by students of the Valley Art Center. The opening will also feature art demos in all four classrooms allowing guests to see what our teachers and facility offers.Liquid Stone Opening Reception: September 10th, 6pm – 8pm The origin is unknown but glass first appeared in 1500 BC in the form of beads. Over a thousand years later, the introduction of glass blowing revolutionized the industry. Artists were exposed to a whole new process of manipulating and molding the liquid stone. Today, glass still has functional uses but the artistic presence is more popular then ever. The Valley Art Center explores glass’ aesthetic presence in our world today. Fused, slumped, and stained glass are just a few of the many forms displayed in Liquid Stone. Summer Classes and Camps start June 21st and run through July 31st
