History and Mission

In the fall of 2013, several civic-minded individuals gathered at a small café in downtown Buena Vista, VA and began an organization that has now become the Buena Vista Arts Council (BVAC). This 501(c)3 non-profit organization supports all art entities-- from non-profit to for-profit, individual artists to groups of performers, educational and just-for-fun--serving the full spectrum of demographics in our community.

We hope to build on our successes with our vision:  

"BelieVe in BV!"
 

Our primary goals are to:

                                                              Build

                                                              Educate

                                                              Lead

                                                              Inspire

                                                              Encourage

                                                              Visualize
