Our Leadership & Volunteers

Hemet Valley Art Association is guided by a volunteer board, officers, and committee chairs who donate their time and expertise to keep the gallery, programs, and events running for our community. These leaders help steward HVAA’s mission, support artists and students, and ensure that the gallery remains a welcoming art space in Historic Downtown Hemet.
