Dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Oro Valley

The Greater Oro Valley Arts Council is "dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Oro Valley by promoting and sustaining the arts and culture of our community."  The Council secures financial support for the arts through various programs.  They are the advocates for art education in the schools of the valley.

Only in existence for the past ten years, the Council has grown immensely.  The first paid employee was hired in 1998 as the Executive Director.  There are family concerts, music appreciation series, newsletters, and public art.

The 1st Annual Oro Valley Independence Day Concert was held in 2000 with an attendance of only 500 people.  This wonderful concert has grown by leaps and bounds in the past years.

Many programs have been initiated, some of which include Chamber Music Light, Opera 101, Musicians in the Classroom services and more public art projects for the Town of Oro Valley.

Some of the upcoming events include the Jazz Jam, Comcast’s ArtsFest, Musical Magic for Kids Concerts, The Tucson Symphony Orchestra MasterWorks Concert Series and of course, the Holiday Magic Concert featuring the Civic Orchestra of Tucson.  All of these future events promise to be entertaining and a source of culture for all.
