Iconic Monterey County Moments
Local Mask Art Submission Winners
From our famous sea otters and fabled coastal cliffs, to the agricultural beauty that abounds, the iconic and diverse offerings in Monterey County are what make this a remarkable place of inspiration for all. In an effort to preserve and protect our destination, and to encourage responsible (not to mention stylish) mask wearing, Monterey County Convention & Visitors Bureau, in partnership with Arts Council for Monterey County, commissioned four local artists to create inspirational Monterey County moments that were entered into a contest and voted on. A limited number of masks in the top four designs are available to purchase through our Marketplace.
Through our partnership with Monterey County Convention & Visitors Bureau we are offering these masks for $10 each, with 100% of proceeds benefitting Arts4MC.
Arts Council for Monterey County's mission is to improve the quality of life for everyone in Monterey County through the arts by providing visual and performing arts education to more than 25,000 youth, and Arts as Healing programs to approximately 1,200 seniors, veterans and at-risk youth.
1st Place Winner
Salinas Valley Farmworkers, Salinas, CA - By Jose Ortiz
Named a champion of the arts by Arts4MC in 1999, Ortiz has spent years pioneering the field of experimental studio space for visual art practitioners. He is the founder and director of Hijos del Sol Arts Productions, a non-profit arts organization based in Salinas. As a lead designer and painter, Ortiz has contributed to more than 70 mural projects throughout Monterey, San Benito, Santa Clara and San José counties. His Monterey Moment is inspired by the pride his mother had in working as part of one of the ground lettuce crews in Salinas.
