About the Arts Council
The San Benito County Arts Council was founded in 2006 as a private nonprofit by a group of artists, art supporters, and community and business leaders to serve as a local arts agency for San Benito County. With a mission to bring people together through the arts, the Arts Council serves as the official state and local partner of the California Arts Council.
The San Benito County Arts Council creates dynamic programs in arts education, exhibiting, presenting, and creative-placemaking, as well as unique projects designed to bring arts services to specific target communities, including low-income students, incarcerated youth and youth on probation, and students with special needs. Their Arts in Education Program, for example, brings performances and workshops in the visual and performing arts to over 6,000 students at 17 local schools in San Benito County.
