The Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery & Center provides a venue for artistic culture and education in the Virgin Valley. The Virgin Valley Artists Association (VVAA), a non-profit volunteer organization, are administrators of the Gallery & Center and support the venue through Our Mission:

• To advance and promote the arts for all age groups and cultures in the community and surrounding area.
• To provide a place for all local artists, crafters and everyone with interests in the arts to learn, develop, share and display their talents.
• To help with funding, planning and operating a state-of-the-art fine arts facility in Mesquite.

The VVAA theme, "Promoting The Power Of The Arts", implies that artists have an ability to make things happen.

Who are the artists?
The truth is we are all artists. We all can pick up a pencil, pen, brush, camera, chisel or lump of clay and make our world a little prettier, colorful or simply better in some way.

Members of the VVAA partner with other organizations to help enrich the lives of our citizens in the areas of the arts and cultural education by providing interesting exhibits and shows, providing diverse classes in the arts, and creating opportunities for our children. We support artist members by showing their work in the galleries and other venues.
 
Our membership is large and includes local artists as well as artists from all over Nevada, Utah, Arizona and other states. We're fortunate to have so many talented and gifted artists involved, and of those, many teach classes which are open to the community. Our Pottery & Artist Studio is a great success and is where so much of the work and learning take place. The Studios are located at the nearby Mesquite Campus. Everyone is welcome to stop in and look around or to join a class and have fun learning with the rest of us. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, you've come to the right place to learn, grow, and make new friends with other artists!
 
One of our favorite exhibitions is our annual Student Art Exhibition & Show which is held each May. We work with the art instructors at each Mesquite school to prepare and exhibit their 1st through 12th grade students’ works for an entire month in both our galleries. It's a fun and rewarding experience for us and for the students and their families.
 
We invite you to enjoy the exhibits, the events and activities - come in see what's going on!
