The Monroe Arts & Culture Center
As a cultural arts and festival producer, we work to enrich and beautify urban environments through cultural arts programs.
The Monroe Arts & Culture Center seeks support to preserve the legacy of the late Arthur Monroe (1935–2019) — a pioneering jazz-inspired abstract expressionist painter and a central figure in Oakland’s cultural and artistic renaissance.
As gentrification continues to displace artists and cultural spaces across Oakland, our family is seeking $125,000 in matching funds to complete essential capital improvements for a newly acquired property in Jingletown, East Oakland. This funding will help secure a permanent home for a living cultural space dedicated to African American art, jazz, activism, and community history.
