North State Symphony has partnered with monca (Museum of Northern California Art) to use visual art from the museum’s permanent collection for the 2014–15 season. Featuring these works of art adds another dimension to this season's journey of discovery.
We enjoy our partnership with monca as we both share a vision to sustain a strong culture of the arts in the North State.
Their vision is to "be a vehicle for communities in the region to experience and create art for the sake of enjoyment, expression, social cohesion, innovation and communication. The museum will improve public perception of art by creating vital educational programs that inspire enthusiasm and increase the quality of life for artists, art enthusiasts and the public at large."
With a twenty year lease on the Veterans Memorial Hall on the Esplanade, the museum is currently in the midst of a Transformation/Renovation Building Campaign to raise $500,000 for transforming an elegant 1927 Classical Revival building into a creatively designed art museum for the entire North State. The first phase of development will include four large exhibition spaces, a grand reception foyer and spaces for educational outreach, a gift shop and small cafe. We encourage you to join monca with your support in as many ways as possible to help them reach their opening date of spring 2016.
Thank you monca!
