About Us

The Cultural & Creative Arts Center of the Santa Maria Valley is a hub and a sanctuary for discovering and experiencing arts and culture.

We provide a community space that advances the individual and collective imagination in performing, visual and literary arts.

We foster an understanding of our shared communities by validating their arts, building pride and respect for all who make up the Santa Maria Valley.

The SMCC envisions a culturally enriching space where diverse identities, heritages, and expressions are affirmed and celebrated throughout the arts.

Toward these ends, the SMCC invites community partnerships with agencies and organizations such as our civic and educational institutions, nonprofits, and community residents.
