About the Fontana Arts Program
Recognized as one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People and as one of the
best places to raise a family, Fontana is a home where artistic ideas, creative
talents and cultural diversity are celebrated. Affordable opportunities to study and
appreciate fine arts are available to artists and citizens alike.
The city has worked with established organizations such as the San Bernardino
County Library, the Fontana Art Association, Fontana Historical Society, Center Stage Theater and the Fontana Community Players to build
upon a strong cultural past and define the future of the arts in Fontana. The cultural and architectural renaissance
in the downtown civic center campus has led to a thriving art district that offers quality
art, literature, theater and outdoor entertainment. With the openings of the Art Depot Gallery,
Center Stage Theater, Koehler Gallery, Lewis Library and Miller Park Amphitheater,
Fontana has taken a decisive step as a future leader in cultural arts programming.
Visit Fontana’s art district in the downtown civic center for a truly unique experience
and witness firsthand Fontana’s impact on cultural arts and the future of the Inland
Empire.
