he Diamond Valley Arts Council (DVAC),
since its founding in early 2004, has been a driving force in
nurturing a thriving creative arts community in the region
surrounding the San Jacinto Valley. Working with and through
numerous independent affiliated organizations and groups, each
devoted to a particular segment of the arts, The DVAC actively
promotes arts and culture-related activities and events, along
with the opportunities for enjoyment and participation that
they offer.
s an umbrella organization
supporting the diversity of artistic and
creative
expression available in our community, the DVAC is committed
to maintaining a strong focus on this vital aspect of the
quality of life as the area grows in terms of population and
economic development. This is done through partnerships with
individuals and businesses as well as civic and governmental
agencies, that develop programs and create opportunities that
will stimulate and enrich the cultural, economic and
intellectual life of the community.
o assure a vibrant arts and culture
community, The DVAC strives to see that the resources
for adequate planning, oversight and funding are in place. We
publicize events and activities using both electronic and print
media (including a periodic newsletter and the extensive
Events Calendar), conduct regular presentations
that showcase either our Affiliate organizations or individual
artists and performers, and hold an annual Festival of the Arts
during the 3rd weekend of October.
e invite you to be a part of this exciting
and worthwhile effort. Come to one of our board meetings and
find out more about The DVAC and what we are doing for our
community. The meetings are open to the public and are held on
the 4th Friday of each month in the first floor
Conference Room of the Hemet Public Library, 300 E. Latham in
Hemet, beginning at 11:30 a.m.. If active participation is more

contribution by working to make our premier event, the annual
Festival of the Arts, even more successful this year. Contact us
