Open Your Hearts to North County Arts
April is Arts, Culture and Creativity Month
Health, Healing & Hope and The Role of Arts in Community Resilience is the theme for the April 2025 Arts, Culture Creativity Month
The North County Arts Network is promoting events that exemplify the spirit of hope and resilience at a time in our lives that we are bombarded by environmental and political challenges. This promotion is part of the Open Your Hearts to North County Arts, our ongoing proof of the variety and depth of arts activities in our region.
Now is the time to advance the message of Health, Healing, & Hope, and how our artists and culture bearers are essential to community cohesion, reparative justice, and individual wellbeing.
Arts and Culture Activities
- Produce Positive Mental Health Outcomes

It stimulates pride in our community, personal well-being – even personal transformations, and builds empathy and understanding.
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!
