Strengthening the community through the arts

DAVA was established in 1993 for the purpose of developing the arts as a positive social force, especially for underserved youth. DAVA's core values of inclusiveness and high-quality arts learning have driven 25 years of youth expression seen as a valuable resource within our community. DAVA is committed to proving that high quality out-of-school art education changes kids’ lives. Programs encourage youth to develop their creativity and character, and to step up as future leaders.
