In GratitudeWe thank Chama Valley Arts for renewing their sponsorship
During summers, CVA offers exciting experiences for children, including HeartStrings Summer Camp and Missoula Children’s Theater. Youth opportunities during the school year include Storytime at the library, sewing classes, dance classes and Fun Fridays, which bring our local schoolchildren in for art activities once a month. Programs for adults include ceramics classes, writer’s workshop, yoga, watercolor, music jam sessions and more. The center offers a warm and welcoming environment for children and adults alike, where creativity and self-expression are encouraged and nurtured.
Our biggest event during the year is the Chama Valley Art Festival and Studio Tour, now in its 18th year, which promotes local and regional artists and craftspeople. It has become a Labor Day weekend tradition for the Rio Chama valley, and draws attendees from far and wide. The Studio Tour spans much of the Rio Chama valley, and brings participants to the studios of local artists to view and purchase their work. Participating in the Studio Tour truly reveals the beauty of our visually stunning area to visitors and residents alike. Visit https://www.chamavalleyartfest.org/ The goal of Chama Valley Arts is to foster creativity and learning, while building a vibrant community through the power of arts and culture. We welcome all of our community members to come experience what CVA has to offer! Chama Valley Arts is located at 278 Maple Ave in Chama. Please check out our website at chamavalleyarts.org to learn more about our regular offerings and our special events! We look forward to seeing you!
