Home Cultural Council Associates

The Cultural Council Associates comprise a group of community members--business people, artists, organization representatives, and others--who share an interest in keeping the arts alive in Santa Cruz County. In a sense, Council Associates bring the community to the Cultural Council and vice versa. Council Associates share the rich cultural creative drive that makes up the Santa Cruz County, and celebrate the remarkable individuals and organizations who contribute their creativity to enhance our way of life.

Any individual or organization interested in, or associated with, cultural activities in Santa Cruz County is eligible to become a Council Associate.
