About Valley Arts and Entertainment

Valley Arts and Entertainment started as a passion project by founder, Patrice Bivins who wanted to create a platform that offered underserved youth and musicians a voice in the community.  It has grown into a positive learning platform for all who reside in the Madison County, Huntsville Alabama communities and other regions, as well.  Valley Arts & Entertainment is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is dedicated to programs that benefit students in music and underserved communities in music. Valley arts received charity status in 2006.
