V.A.L. is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1962 to promote understanding and appreciation of art and study of art within the community. During the pandemic, the club almost came to an end, but in December 2023, a group of community artists came together to revive it, and now it’s flourishing again.
Our mission is to foster a vibrant art scene in Tulare County and promote art appreciation through various means such as education, mentoring, classes and workshops.

We strongly believe in the power of artists supporting and helping one another by inspiring, mentoring, and teaching. By reaching out and connecting with each other, we can truly value what truly matters in our artistic pursuits.

Artists enrich our lives through their exceptional work, and there is an incredible creative energy that emerges when we share our passion with one another.
