About the MAA
Founded in 1968 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the Martinez Arts Association (MAA) leads many community events throughout the year. Our goal is to encourage art culture and education for our youth and the community. We coordinate and sponsor art-related events such as, ‘SWAN Day’ (Support Women Artists Now) in March, ‘Art in the Park’ in August, and Dia de los Muertos.
The proceeds from these events along with membership dues help the MAA provide scholarships to local graduating seniors in the visual arts. Also, in response to budgetary cutbacks to our public schools, the MAA offers grants to teachers for purchasing art supplies for their students.
The association’s greatest annual fundraiser, ‘Art in the Park with Live Music’, is held the third Sunday in August.
The MAA Board of Directors
The Board meets the first Monday of each month at 6:30p. Meeting location is TBD. February 3rd meeting will be held at the Contra Costa Historical Society at 1005 Escobar St., Martinez. Meetings are open to all MAA members.
