Celebrate. Cultivate. Educate. Our Mission: Cultivating a creative community using art advocacy as a platform to safely express, educate, empower and engage the Coachella Valley. Our Story: The Coachella Valley Art Scene started as a blog in 2008. After five years of internet and events, The CVAS opened the doors to their first art gallery for a more tangible experience. The gallery served as a creative hub for the community. In January of 2015, The Coachella Valley Art Scene officially became a 501c3 NonProfit Organization.
