The Center is thrilled to have received a grant from the California Arts Council to support expanding our after-school programs from one to two days per week. As a vibrant and essential local arts resource, this funding fuels our artistic vision, strengthens our future, and expands our ability to serve the young people and families who depend on the arts to learn, grow, and thrive.

An Important Message About Dia de Muertos. The Sonoma Community Center will hold its Dia de Muertos altar lighting, as scheduled, on Saturday, November 1 at 6:00 p.m. We welcome the community to join us in remembering those who have passed while viewing the Center’s public altars, the Community Butterfly Exhibit, and visiting the gallery featuring the work of artist Adrián Arias.

Experience Joni Mitchell’s iconic music reimagined with fresh artistry and heartfelt authenticity. The Christina Galisatus Quintet brings new life to timeless songs like Both Sides Now, exploring Mitchell’s eclectic catalog while honoring the emotional depth at its core.

Picture this: The lights dim and the audience settles into hushed anticipation. A flickering beam cuts through the dark as the opening frames of Nosferatu (1922) appear on the screen—grainy, ghostlike, alive with shadows. The theater is utterly still until the first notes of live music rise from the pianist.

Find us in our regular Tuesday Night Market spot, just to the right of City Hall. We’ll be selling tasty aguas frescas and will have Dia de Muertos butterflies to decorate.
