The Mon Valley Academy for the Arts (MVAA), the arts and culture organization serving the Mon Valley, proudly announces that they have received their 501(c)(3) status, making the MVAA a non-profit organization.

This status allows the MVAA to fully operate as a non-profit organization with the ability to directly apply for funding and other support through local, state, federal and private foundation sources, and will allow the organization to continue to expand their programming and services.

“It has taken a lot of time and hard work to attain this status and we are thrilled to now be able to reach out for additional funding to grow on our successes over the past two years,” said Mark A. Smith, MVAA President and Founding Director. “We are most grateful to our partners and supporters, especially the Westmoreland Cultural Trust and its President Michael J. Langer for their support and partnership, and to our Board of Directors, regional business, organizations and volunteers for their patience and support.” Also assisting in the certification process was Bassi, Vreeland and Associates Law firm of Charleroi, PA.

MVAA has spent the past two years creating Phase 1 of the Twin Coaches Orchestra Project (TCOP), which was established in November 2015 as a part of the ongoing musical and educational career of project founder Mark A. Smith. During this time, the organization has been building the program, along with various concert and teaching programs, and establishing an organizational support system, including a solid Board of Directors and Advisory Board.

Details will be announced at the 2018 spring kickoff event being held on Sunday April 15, 2018 at the By George Banquet Center in Monessen. The afternoon gala will celebrate the 501(c)(3) certification and the 2018 EQT Foundation grant along with local dignitaries and special guests. By George will serve special appetizers, and there will be an appearance by the Jessica Lee Jazz and Blues trio. Ticketing and details will soon to be announced.
