Valencia Arts provides a unique opportunity for community members to come together and experience exceptional entertainment in theater, music, dance, film, visual arts and humanities. Every season, student artists showcase inspirational, powerful and unforgettable programs that appeal to a wide range of ages and interests.

This season is packed with a number of show-stopping performances that you won’t want to miss. Several highlights include an award-winning Andrew Lloyd Webber Broadway musical coming to the stage in October, choral and band concerts, and a variety of dance performances.

Our low-cost, high-quality events are open to the community, and to the friends and family of our artists. Proceeds raised from ticket sales help fund student learning and the local arts. Come experience the magic of the arts with us this season. We look forward to seeing you soon.
