We believe that where art & artists thrive, so does the community.
The Lodi Arts Foundation, in partnership with the Lodi Arts Commission and the City of Lodi, is a 501(c)(3) that advocates for the arts & artists in Lodi. Our goal is to create opportunities for local artists and art-lovers to engage and experience the impact of creativity in 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.
