Our Mission: Cultivate a vibrant community through extraordinary creative, cultural, and learning experiences.
The Sonoma Community Center is a member-supported, not-for-profit organization since 1953, and is housed on the campus of the historic Sonoma Grammar School.
For over six decades, the Center has worked to inspire creative expression and enhance quality of life by bringing world class programming to the Valley of the Moon, and to preserve and restore our grand, historic building. The Center’s campus was built in 1916 and resides just two blocks east of the historic Sonoma plaza.
Our Vision: Be THE CENTER for diverse communities to connect, create, and thrive through world-class programming and experiences.
The Sonoma Community Center’s Core Values:
- Community: Build a vital community resource through creativity and multicultural individual and shared experiences.
- Innovation: Adapt continually to changing conditions, opportunities, and needs of the community.
- Creativity: Deliver opportunities for exploration and expression through art and culture valued by the community.
- Inclusion: Foster a welcoming environment for quality programs and services that support equality, diversity, and accessibility.
- Leadership: Cultivate effective leaders and create collaborations for positive community impact.
