Our Mission
“To build a collaborative arts community to promote and support multicultural arts in and around Gilroy”
The Gilroy Arts Alliance (GAA) is the nonprofit organization that operates the Gilroy Center for the Arts. We advocate on behalf of the arts in Gilroy and the surrounding areas and support the artistic and cultural activities of the creative talent in our community.
The Gilroy Center for the Arts strives to promote unity and inclusiveness by creating cultural Exhibits, such as Black History Month that inspire, educate, engage and foster a strong community through the arts, and with a deep commitment to honor, respect and celebrate diversity and freedom of expression.
We collaborate with Gilroy Downtown Business Association (GDBA) on several community-based events such as the annual Gilroy Art and Wine Stroll and Beer Crawl.
GAA publicizes local art events and builds awareness of arts-related policies and issues with email newsletters to a database of local art supporters. We actively raise funds to provide financial support to a variety of visual and performing arts groups, artists’ scholarships, and arts education in the schools.
The Gilroy Arts Alliance/Center for the Arts is located in downtown Gilroy on the corner of Monterey Street and 7th Street. Visitors to Gilroy, the Gilroy Outlet Mall, Gilroy Gardens, Wine Trail, and other venues, are invited to stop by the Center for the Arts to view wonderful exhibits and get information on Art Classes for children and adults, Music events, Theater, or Movie nights. There is no fee to enter the Center for the Arts.
“A Center for creative minds of all ages”
