We are a group of local artists and community volunteers who are creating a vibrant downtown and arts community in Salinas California, the home of Nobel Prize winning author John Steinbeck.

We are dedicated to providing positive opportunities for local artists ro connect with the community and share their talents with the public, as well as giving the public a chance to experience high quaility art in a safe, relaxed environment.

We welcome artists from Salinas and the Valley to participate in our programs and invite artists and art lovers locally and from around the world to attend our events. You don't have to know about art to visit an artist's studio and see how art is created. We especially want to welcome visitors who wish to learn about art.

See you at the third annual Artoberfest!
