Be Our Friend
We believe art plays a profound role in our human experience. It is our responsibility as a society to invest in and make room for the process and the healing nature of self-expression. OGS plays a supporting role in the pursuit of artistic excellence and creative play by providing opportunities, mentorship and a nurturing environment.
Friendships Matter
Since 2013 we have been building community, one friendship at a time. People find us through art, but they need us for community. Our activism, inventive projects, events, and people have had a transformational impact on the Monterey Peninsula. We thank you for your support!

“Art is a nation’s most precious heritage. For it is in our works of art that we reveal to ourselves and to others the inner vision which guides us as a nation. And where there is no vision, the people perish.”
— Lyndon Johnson, on signing into existence the National Endowment on the Arts
