About Ontario Arts & Culture

In the fall of 2014, Ontario Arts & Culture was created to highlight existing arts and cultural programs in addition to bringing in new ones throughout the City. Members from nonprofit cultural and arts groups are working together to promote and coordinate exciting elements for the community.

The City of Ontario is dedicated to enriching and preserving Ontario’s artistic and cultural heritage and continuing to foster the creativity of the community. With this endeavor, Ontario will become the arts and culture destination in Southern California.
