Come and join us as the Arts Council for Monterey County enters a new cycle of work to increase participation in the arts. Share in our mission to improve the quality of life for everyone in our region through the arts. There is so much potential -- and new momentum -- to restore to the arts to a central place in our lives. But, it's still very fragile.
We have a wide variety of ways for you to get involved -- in the office, on committees or just from time to time. Meet new people, make new friends, have more fun!
The Community Foundation for Monterey County/Communities Advancing the Arts Initiative and the Arts Council for Monterey County have just completed "Creative Monterey County: An Action Plan" that helps guides our efforts for the next five years.
To get involved, call Paulette Lynch today at 831-622-9060
Call me anytime to discuss the possibilities below or send a message to: paulettelynch@culturalmonterey.org! I look forward to hearing from you.
Paulette Lynch
