Ages for which our activities are most appropriate: 
Initially, the association’s purpose was to contract with touring music and dance groups to perform for their audiences. The association would pay all major cost for groups performing at the Sturges Center for the Fine Arts. The groups performing would then take all proceeds from ticket sales to sustain their program. By the turn of the Century the Valley Concert Association was not able to continue their philanthropy because of a lack of funding.

We strive to be a thriving, well-funded hub that upholds our mission and supports underrepresented voices through strong partnerships and inclusivity. Our goal is to provide a safe, accessible space that fosters creativity and cultural experiences, leveraging technology and collaborations with art collectives and college students. By expanding our network, we aim to contribute to careers, teaching, and artistic innovation in San Bernardino and the greater Inland Empire.
