Performing and visual arts bring beauty and abundance to life. Vallarta’s vibrant arts scene constantly changes and evolves, thanks to audiences and patrons who support it.

But for every big production that hits the stage, there's a struggling actor who hasn't yet made it into the spotlight. For every artist who sells a masterpiece, there's a child with a paintbrush and a dream.

These dedicated nonprofits help bridge the gap between dreams and debuts. They also celebrate arts' power to heal and uplift. We'd like to lift the curtain on some that are making a difference.

Here’s a quick look at some local arts and culture nonprofits making an impact and how you can to get involved, volunteer, and donate to support them.
