The Alisal Center for the Fine Arts has served the Salinas Community for over 30 years. ACFA has developed into a steward for emerging artists and professionals while remaining as a solid foundation for youth and community members. ACFA’s presence in Salinas has contributed to the development of musicians, artist, dancers, and actors. Thanks to ACFA, numerous individuals have returned and are now involved in teaching and/or performing within the community. ACFA has grown into one of the largest arts oriented organizations in East Salinas by providing arts related instruction, performance opportunities and events. ACFA provides various fine arts opportunities that embody cultural, traditional, and contemporary forms of art. These opportunities allow students to learn and gain enriched experiences through workshops and public presentations. Instructors mentor more than 300 participants weekly, inspiring creative expression, character building, and community engagement.
