Mark Valdez is a director, writer, and cultural organizer who partners with communities, organizations, civic institutions, and others, using theater and creative tools to address community needs and to lift up community voices and stories.

The School of Performing Arts at Virginia Tech presents “Art, Community, and Social Health,” a series of talks / workshops by nationally recognized artists and thought leaders on the power and practice of art and culture as essential elements of healthy communities.
