Welcome to Mon Valley Academy for the Arts (MVAA)! The MVAA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the cultural fabric of the Mon Valley and beyond through a diverse array of programs and events. Our offerings include musical instruction, arts and culture workshops, the Empower a Rising Star (EARS) scholarship program, and free concerts including the EQT/MVAA Summer Concert Series and the Power of Music Concert Series.
The MVAA is also home to several outstanding musical ensembles: the Twin Coaches Junior Stage Band, VoiceZ on Fire show choir, Sam Bill Legacy Band, Regimental Fife & Drum Unit, Take 5 Brass quintet, and the MVAA Legends Drum & Bugle Corps. These groups showcase the extraordinary talent and rich musical heritage of our region.
Currently, we’re preparing to launch a new podcast and concert series celebrating the Mon Valley’s legendary musicians. Stay tuned for updates as we bring these inspiring stories and performances to life!
Our mission is to inspire, educate, and connect individuals of all ages through lifelong learning and cultural experiences. Operated by a dynamic, all-volunteer board of directors with varied talents and expertise, the MVAA is committed to fostering community engagement and growth.
The MVAA is funded through individual donations, grants, corporate sponsorships, and revenue from our virtual storefront, where we sell MVAA themed apparel, merchandise and donated musical equipment. Explore our website to learn more about upcoming events, programs, and ways to get involved!
