Valley performing arts center

"…I know that placing the Valley Performing Arts Center on the university’s campus will offer unique educational, economic and cultural opportunities to the people of the region and its employers far beyond those usually achieved in creating such facilities. It will truly define the Valley as a cultural destination."
