The Arts Council for Monterey County, also known as Arts4MC, was established in 1982 by a group of dedicated individuals with the support of renowned artist Ansel Adams. Since its inception, the Council has aimed to enhance the quality of life in the region through various arts and cultural programs, in alignment with the National Endowment for the Arts' vision.
Through collaborations with supporters and partners, the Council has been instrumental in providing access to high-quality arts initiatives for residents across the county. By strengthening the capacity of arts organizations and influencing community leaders to integrate the arts into their strategies, Arts4MC plays a vital role in fostering a vibrant cultural landscape in Monterey County.
With a strong focus on arts education, the Council impacts over 25,000 youth, seniors, and veterans annually, supported by a network of local PTAs, foundations, and businesses. Additionally, Arts4MC offers essential support to more than 100 arts and cultural organizations, thanks to funding from the County of Monterey Board of Supervisors and grants from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Committed to making Monterey County a thriving hub of creativity, Arts Council for Monterey County continues to receive recognition for its contributions from various stakeholders.
