Our BoardOur Board is made up of hard-working volunteers who pool their talents together to make the arts an integral part of our community experience. Founded in 1987 and formerly known as the Carlsbad Arts Associates, The Friends remain committed to their original mission: to promote and support the programs and activities of the City of Carlsbad’s Cultural Arts Office.

Ready for some real excitement in your life? (Okay, maybe we’re exaggerating a little.) But the Friends of the Arts is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization and as such, has a Board of Directors that oversees its activities.
The Friends are always looking for community members to increase their involvement by joining the Board. It’s a “working” Board, so there is some commitment – but we have a lot of fun too! After all, it’s the arts. We bring good things to peoples’ lives!
