Our mission is to promote, inspire, encourage, and support visual art for uplifting the human spirit in the Cary community.

Through partnerships with other non-profit organizations, as well as the Town of Cary and local businesses, CVA facilitates the commissioning and placement of art throughout the community. Our goal is to promote public access to visual art through the support of public art projects and educational programs.

Cary Visual Art is supported by our members and sponsors and receives grants from a variety of public and private sources. Learn more about our supporters here.
