Welcome to Arts Council Napa Valley's website! On this site, you will find a wealth of information about Napa Valley arts. We first invite you to visit our online Master Arts and Culture Calendar, which includes visual, literary, theater, music, dance, historical, and cultural events; it also features workshops, classes, auctions and benefits, and lectures, and includes a page devoted to events for teens. Under "For Patrons of Art", you will find a list of galleries, museums, arts organizations, and wineries with art exhibits; the "Artists' Programs" will guide working artists to opportunities, program information, and our Community Arts Message Board. Finally, to learn about how you can support your arts community, click "Membership" to join Arts Council Napa Valley. This website would not be possible without the dedication and expertise of webmaster Kristine Cummins, nor without the generosity of Net-Flow Internet Solutions. We thank them both.

We are extremely grateful to the donors, supporters, and volunteers that make our work possible. We are most thankful for the support of the Community Foundation of the Napa Valley, whose dedicated commitment to strengthening the local arts sector is helping us shape a new future for Napa Valley arts. In partnership with the Community Foundation, Arts Council Napa Valley is launching the process to create a cultural plan for Napa County. This plan, crafted entirely from community input, will create a vision and framework for a healthy, diverse, and vibrant Napa Valley arts sector for years to come. There will be a page on this site dedicated to the planning process; please check back often to watch our progress.

At ACNV, we are here to serve you: Napa Valley artists, arts organizations, arts patrons, and arts lovers. If you are an artist, we invite you to participate in the Artist Registry and the annual Open Studios Tour; if you are a patron, we invite you to attend Open Studios or contact us to commission new work; if you are an business, consider booking an exhibit of local art through our Revolving Door Art Program; if you are an arts organization, submit your events to our calendar and ask us how we can help support or promote your programs; and if you are a parent, ask for an Arts in Education program in your child's school. If there are other ways we can support you, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We'd also love to have you get involved in your arts community! Become a member, volunteer, come to our arts events, and keep coming back to this website for the latest arts news.

Enjoy Napa Valley arts!

Best,
Michelle Williams
Executive Director
