Savor Sonoma County’s arts scene your way.

Sculpture gardens tucked into hills and intimate performance venues in charming small towns join major performing arts centers like the Green Music Center and Luther Burbank Center for the Arts in sharing the arts. Each Sonoma County community has its own style of artistic expression. Look for one-of-a-kind souvenirs by artists, jewelry makers, artisans, and more in galleries and studios countywide.

Stroll from gallery to gallery in Healdsburg, visit the oldest continuously operating artists' cooperative in California, or take in a show at Jack London State Historic Park.

With thousands of artists and more than 20 performing arts companies in Sonoma County, you’re sure to find something special where Life Opens Up.
