About Us

Our Mission

The Volusia County Cultural Alliance is a non-profit network of community cultural organizations, individual artists, and local businesses that are passionately committed to nurturing and promoting vibrant arts and cultural experiences throughout Volusia County. As a non-profit cultural organization, our mission is to serve as a dynamic hub for arts advocacy, community engagement, and cultural celebration.

We provide a calendar of local arts and culture events, advocate for the interests of the arts community, and celebrate the achievements of local cultural organizations. By doing so, we aim to enrich the lives of both residents and visitors, fostering a strong, interconnected artistic community.

Our Vision and Values

Our vision at the Volusia County Cultural Alliance is to create a thriving cultural landscape where arts and culture are integral to the community’s identity and economic prosperity. We envision a future where the arts inspire, empower, and connect all individuals within our community.

Values that guide us include creativity, inclusivity, and collaboration. We believe in the power of the arts to transform lives and communities, and we strive to provide accessible opportunities for cultural enrichment to everyone in Volusia County.
