More info

Established in 1998, the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art (SVMA) is a membership-supported 501(c) 3, non-profit organization that provides seasonal exhibitions of contemporary and modern art and educational and public programming for children, youth, and adults. The Sonoma Valley Museum of Art’s mission: Building Community Around Art. In 1998 a small group of Sonoma residents imagined a place where art is alive and accessible. They envisioned a center for the arts where the old Franklin Furniture Store stood at 551 Broadway. SVMA was incorporated in 1998, and opened its first exhibit, “Sonoma Collects,” a year later. Prior to 2000 SVMA managed to bring on board 511 charter household memberships, totaling a good estimate of 790 individuals. The names of these SVMA Charter Members are listed on a plaque in the Museum.
