Culture OC’s mission is to engage with a diverse range of Orange County’s artistic and cultural communities at every level by publishing news and critical analysis to encourage interest, participation, fellowship and dialogue.

Culture OC believes that arts and culture journalism is one of the cornerstones of a healthy arts community. Their vision is to provide the best possible arts and cultural journalism to Orange County, raise awareness of the area’s cultural richness and diversity, and strengthen the future of our field.

In an era where mainstream news is abandoning this coverage, they seek to keep it alive.
