Growing Arts and Culture in the West Valley

West Valley Arts Council is a 501c3 nonprofit that serves the 13 municipalities that make up the West Valley by acting as a facilitator for inclusive art and culture in the West Valley.

Our partnerships connect and strengthen communities through sharing resources, opportunities, and building networks across neighborhoods, artists, culture-keepers, and organizations. Our goal is to help nurture an arts ecosystem where everyone has a voice and everyone belongs.

Founded in 1969 as the Cultural Arts Society West, and renamed West Valley Arts Council in 1989 to reflect a broader and more inclusive vision, WVAC has long been part of the cultural fabric of the West Valley. Rather than acting as the center, we strive to be one thread among many — helping cultivate the quality of life that emerges when communities shape their own cultural landscapes.

History, Arts and Culture for the Southwest Valley

The P.W. Litchfield Heritage Center is a nonprofit museum and cultural institution dedicated to preserving and sharing the history, arts, and culture of the Southwest Valley. The Center is an advocate for preservation and offers exhibits, educational programs, and public engagement. By connecting generations through local stories and heritage, it plays a vital role in strengthening the cultural identity of the region.  
 
In 2026, the Center was honored with the West Valley Regional Chamber Mayor’s Excellence Award.
 
 The Center will soon be housed in the re-purposed historic Litchfield/Denny home, located on the historic Rancho La Loma hilltop property.
