What is MIVAL?
Founded in 1961, The Mercer Island Visual Arts League (MIVAL) is a volunteer-run non-profit dedicated to fostering the appreciation of the visual arts through education, exhibitions, and community outreach. From seasoned professionals to enthusiastic hobbyists, the league provides a supportive ecosystem where local artists can collaborate, sharpen their skills, and bring world-class culture to our backyard.
A Collaborative Vision
The MICEC Art Gallery program is a dedicated effort to fill the community center’s walls with engaging, thought-provoking work. By transforming a municipal space into a rotating gallery, MIVAL and the City provide residents with a constant "happiness boost" right in the heart of the Island.
The program currently hosts six major exhibitions per year, ranging from prestigious local collections to the beloved Junior Art Show, ensuring that every generation of Islander sees themselves reflected on the walls.
