We are proud of The Center’s legacy. In July of 1971 the Sun Valley Center for the Arts was founded on the principle that a community cannot be a “whole” community without the arts. All year round, The Center brings events, artists, performances, classes and lectures to venues around the valley and into the schools to make sure that our athletic mountain community has the opportunity to flex its art and brain muscles!

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT THE CENTER?
at the center
Sun valley Center for the arts po Box 656 Sun Valley, ID 83353
Maybe you attended a free lecture, a free family day or your child went to a free after school art class. If you feel like giving back, there are multiple ways for you to help The Center! Membership means a lot to us—and it helps you too! Members receive mailings about events, receive discounts for lectures, classes and concerts—and you won’t pay any service fees for any tickets—which can save you big money. Come to the Wine Auction! The Gala, a symposium or the modestly priced, but exceptionally fun Picnic & Concert—each is a fun way to support the organization that is here for you all year round.
