MEMBERSHIP DRIVE -
JOIN ACT AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Thank you for supporting the Arts Council of Torrance with your Membership! You'll become a part of an active independent group of citizens who advocate for and promote the arts in the Torrance community.    Check out the many arts venues in the city with links to their websites. We hope you'll fill your calendar with lots of opportunities to experience a wide array of artistic experiences - from visual to performance, the City of Torrance and the surrounding South Bay has it all!

Additionally, the Arts Council of Torrance has the distinction of honoring students for their artistic achievements and we strongly advocate for the perpetuation of arts curriculum in our school and city programs. Your membership dues help to provide grants for funding talented students' participation in local arts experiences when financial resources are needed.

The volunteer Board of Directors meets once a month and General Membership meetings are scheduled annually and feature outstanding local speakers, artists and often performing arts groups. We're so glad you've chosen to support the arts in the City of Torrance by joining us!

  THANK YOU!!
