PVA’s mission is to bring the community together through the arts. Our vision is to provide a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment to connect, create and celebrate the arts, culture, and history of our community.
PVA is where past meets future, transforming a 40-year-old arts organization into a vibrant new landmark destination in downtown Watsonville by building community through inspiring exhibitions, uplifting underserved youth, celebrating culture and changing lives.
We’ve outgrown our tiny 1,200 sq foot home!
Your funds will help PVA remodel the historic 12,000 sq foot Porter Building on Main Street (we were able to purchase it!) to expand our programs, scale our free exhibitions and live performances, provide a professional space for artists to create and sell their work and improve access to the arts for all.
Events like these (More Than Cars Exhibit) give us an opportunity to celebrate our heritage and culture. I learned that when we honor our voices, we create a more inclusive society that values and respects the experiences of others.
Anonymous, Watsonville
