We bring together art lovers, community organizations, independent artists, and local  businesses to advocate, promote, and provide opportunities to celebrate the arts for all  Tulare County residents and visitors. Through leadership and innovation, we are committed  to preserving our cultural and creative diversity by building communities where the arts are  a vital part of everyday life.
