Mission

By donating to the Arts Council for Monterey County (Arts4MC), you are contributing towards enhancing the quality of life for everyone in our region through the arts. Moreover, when you choose to donate through MC Gives!, your contribution can be matched by up to 10%, thereby increasing the impact of your gift! 

The Big Idea

Arts can be a powerful tool in promoting healing and well-being. Our Arts4Healing programs have been designed to help individuals who are facing physical, emotional, or mental health challenges. These programs provide a safe and nurturing space that participants can use to express their emotions and embark on a transformative healing journey.

Since 2009, we have partnered with several community organizations, such as the

  • Veterans Transition Center
  • CHISPA Senior Housing
  • Community Day Schools
  • Rancho Cielo
  • Set Free Monterey Bay

Your support can help us reach even more and make a positive impact on their lives. By donating to our ARts4Healing program through MCGives!, you can help us foster emotional well-being, boost self-esteem, and aid in the recovery and resilience of our participants. Your generosity can truly make a world of difference to those who need it most.

So please consider donating today and join us in using the arts to bring hope and renewal to those on the path to healing and recovery. Thank you for your support!

The art provides a different modality for our survivors in terms of classes. Especially because most of their classes are trauma based, this is such a nice break from that! Plus their art is BEAUTIFUL and we are going to hang all their creations in our new classrooms.
