Funding Priorities
The Monterey Cultural Council strives to provide a range of diverse offerings that include performance and hands-on opportunities that reflect all the arts and other cultural and community events of interest. Although we fund regional projects, we prioritize projects that are inclusive and reflective of our town's population.
