Arts and Culture*
|
San Clemente is justifiably proud of its surf, beach and arts cultures. We celebrate and cultivate these cultural strengths and support local artists through community events, public art programs, and preservation of historical and archaeological resources, cultural facilities and traditions. It is our culture, perhaps more than any other quality, which reflects the City’s character and shapes its image for residents, business and visitors. To enrich our culture, the City promotes opportunities for community appreciation of and participation in the Arts, encourages the aesthetic enhancement of buildings and public places and helps provide opportunities for cultural learning, exchange and inspiration.
