The arts connect us to ourselves, each other and the world.
The arts create dialogue, build connections and help us define our place in the world. Much of SVMoA’s programming is built around themes, or BIG IDEAS, that are relevant to the world today. Topics can be serious or playful, but are designed to engage the entire community and get everyone talking.
