Sun Valley Center for the Arts
Community
Sun valley Center for the arts po Box 656 Sun Valley, ID 83353
A community cannot be a “real” community without the arts. The Center was started in 1971 with this fundamental belief of Bill Janss’. Our commitment since that time has been to build community through the arts. We invite you to join us this summer at our picnic concerts, gallery events, ice cream social, classes, arts & crafts festival and more to celebrate the arts in our community.

Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ members receive discounts that add up. If you buy tickets to winter concerts and our lectures, you’ll save more than your membership fee quickly! In addition to the savings to your wallet, you help us to keep the arts a vibrant part of this community. Without the financial backing of our members, we can’t provide free after school art classes, free admission to the gallery, free lectures and films, and free family art days. Please become a member of The Center – you make a difference.
The mission of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts is to stimulate and provoke the imagination while opening hearts and minds through diverse arts programs.
