Welcome to Lamorinda Arts Council
The mission of the Lamorinda Arts Council is to ignite and sustain artistic expression and appreciation for all ages throughout the tri-city area of Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda, California.
We are an engaged group of volunteers and donors who advocate for a vibrant, local culture of visual, performing, and literary arts. We do this by developing and producing community events, partnering with professional organizations and artists, and giving financial support and awards.
