CULTURE IS COMMUNITY

We all have something to share

The VCA is committed to the inclusion of the arts in everyday public life. We host, support, and promote events aimed at entertaining and enriching our community, from movies at the Coyote Twin to music at the annual River Honorings. It's how (and why) we #LOVermillion.
