Lodi Arts Foundation is a non-profit organization that works in partnership with the Lodi Arts Commission & City of Lodi to advocate for the arts & artists in Lodi.

We believe that where art & artists thrive, so does the community.
Lodi is home to an incredibly talented and vibrant arts scene. The Lodi Arts Foundation is committed to creating & sharing opportunities for local artists to show their work, receive funding, and connect with the community.
