Monterey Arts & Culture

The dance between ethereal and visceral is never-ending in this art-nurturing hamlet we call Monterey County. Home to museums,galleries, performing arts venues, Monterey is as much a hub for artistic expression as it is a source of heightened inspiration to the creative fraternity at large. A diverse and renowned community of artists, performers and curators of fine art share their passion and put it on display for all to enjoy.

Much of this amazing local arts and culture scene is owed to the Arts Council for Monterey County (Arts4MC). The mission of the Arts Council is to improve the quality of life for visitors and locals alike in the Monterey County region through the arts.
