Valley Arts District

The Valley Arts District
HANDS is leading the renaissance in the Valley with creation of 100 art spaces that will remain affordable for the long term.  Residents and visitors can now enjoy theatre, arts education, locally grown foods, affordable artist live-work space, public art, and live music all within easy walking distance of each other and public transportation.  The ValleyArts organization coordinates programming in the Valley Arts District.
