A majority of us on the LV Arts Board have lived in Leavenworth for most of (if not all) our lives. We deeply care about our mission to build, broaden, and nurture a love for the arts in our community because this is our home and we want it to grow into an even more beautiful place. Our vision is that we will expand LV Arts into a dedicated Center for the Arts in Leavenworth.
Incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2021, LV Arts came to life to provide more unique and tangible ways to engage with art and culture right here in our very own community.
We believe the arts wield a special ability to open our eyes and help us see our world in new and different ways. Our team is dedicated to creating unique experiences through the arts, and we hope you'll find our programs and events to be innovative, enriching, and special. We do hope you'll support our organization as we continue to connect art and community.
We are grateful to our community of art supporters and explorers. Thank you for believing in the power of art to create a better tomorrow.
