Wonder Valley Institute of Contemporary Art (WVICA*), seated in the expansive California high desert, seeks to nurture creativity across a range of disciplines by sponsoring imaginative projects on site and throughout the desert area. The tranquil, remote location provides for a fertile home where established and emerging artists can discover new creative paths expanding beyond the confines of the studio and gallery walls.

MISSION:
An institution supporting artistic endeavors across multiple genres including visual, musical, film, literary, and performing arts, WVICA is dedicated to experimenting with and blending local, national, and international communities. We aim to support artistic dialog through encouraging exchange between local and urban artists, providing and open, flexible forum for ideas, and ongoing individual residences for creative discovery by promising artists.
SITE:
A rural enclave at the base of the Sheep Hole Mountains in scenic Wonder Valley, California provides a private, inspiring landscape in the heart of the Mojave Desert. Based in a renovated rustic cabin on five acres, WVICA's headquarters are conveniently accessible from Los Angeles and Las Vegas yet the site is completely free from distractions. WVICA will eventually serve as a multi-functional space including a library, exhibition gallery and performance space.
