The Cherry Center Mission is to enhance the quality and diversity of artistic, educational, and cultural programs in Monterey County by encouraging public programs and interactions between artists and the community.

The Cherry Center’s artistic purpose is to present arts and theater that are timely, engaging, and cast light on contemporary issues, both aesthetic and intellectual.

"There are no strings attached to the help we give. We don't care whether those we help become famous or not. Our reward is in making it possible for an artist to be true to himself."
