As the official public-private nonprofit partner to California State Parks, Parks California is proud to administer and manage the grants program, a component of the multi-year Arts in California Parks initiative.

This program is designed to foster vibrant community engagement, support local artists, and celebrate cultural diversity through the creation of art and culture programming in local parks. Together, we aim to enhance the natural beauty of local parks with culturally enriching art programs that invite exploration, understanding, and a deepened connection to our shared landscapes.
