Background

The Allied Arts Board brings recognition to the Arts through a biennial arts awards program, which honors outstanding individuals, businesses and educators whose participation in and support of the arts achieves a standard of excellence and advances the value of the arts to the local and regional community. As advocates for the arts, the Board identifies the needs of arts organizations, encourages public support, and assists in fund development for the Huntington Beach Art Center. The Allied Arts Board plays a significant role in the development of Art in Public Places.
