Open Your Hearts to North County Arts
NCAN Presents:
Open Your Hearts to North County Arts
April is Arts, Culture and Creativity Month
This April 2026, North County Arts Network has an annual Open Your Heart to North County Arts campaign. The promotion this year re-enforces the California for the Arts: April 2026 as Arts, Cultural and Creativity Month. The theme this year is Joy, Action and Power. We interpret this to mean that the Visual and Performing Arts comes from joy and that creates action that builds power in our communities.
Please let us know of any visual or performing arts events that fits into this theme and we will make sure it gets extra attention in April with weekly instead of monthly eblasts. Send press release with low resolution jpg images to Patricia Frischer and remember to list the events on our calendar.
The North County Arts Network was established to serve, advance, and lead the diverse network of organizations and individuals who work in the arts in North County San Diego. We look to invigorate the arts community, enhance quality of life and encourage prosperity in our region to maximize support for the arts.
We encourage everyone to become involved in the arts, especially in North County San Diego. It’s not that far!
