About Us

Inyo Council for the Arts seeks to support artistic expression as a means to preserve and celebrate our diverse culture and historical heritage.

We believe the arts create a language that connects all people and enriches lives.

We are dedicated to advancing the arts in Inyo County by promoting appreciation, education and collaboration.

We provide a venue for local artists to show their work, for musicians to perform, and for the community to gather in appreciation of the arts.

We are a non-profit organization which depends on the support of the people of Inyo County.
