Description

Palenke Arts invites community members, partners, artists, and supporters to join a special evening recognizing ten years of cultural leadership, artistic expression, and community connection in Seaside.
In partnership with the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, this milestone ribbon cutting honors a decade of work dedicated to creating access to arts education, preserving cultural traditions, and building
spaces where diverse voices and creative expression can thrive.

Guests will also learn more about the upcoming Palenke Arts 10-Year Anniversary Festival taking place June 7 at Laguna Grande Park, a free multicultural celebration welcoming the entire community.

All are welcome to attend and be part of this meaningful moment in Palenke Arts’ history.

Founded by Executive Director Juan L. Sánchez, Palenke Arts has grown into a regional hub for Latin American, Afro-Caribbean, and global cultural arts programming. Over the past ten years, the organization has presented performances, youth programs, workshops, and community events that bring generations together through music and the arts.
