I love acting, singing, and dancing!

— Gabriel, Age 12

From my kitchen table, I’m looking out my window to see hundreds of students joyfully lined up in anticipation of The Lion King production at the KCHS auditorium. The sound of their voices is inspiring!

Art is such an equalizer even for children still working on their English skills; they can express themselves artistically and it brings in the parents so that they are all together enjoying the same experience. That benefits and transforms the individual, the family, and the community.

— Renata Funke, Dean of Education, Hartnell Community College

Sol Treasures is the center of art and culture in our community! Their many programs reach out to the full spectrum of the community. As a parent, I am in awe of the transformation in my own child as well as the other children. It is truly magical to watch the children grow and work side by side in an orchestrated effort to produce art – wonderful art.

Thank you so much for all that you do for my children and the entire community!

Ten years ago, the vision for Sol Treasures was a home for local artists. That home has grown into an arts and cultural enrichment center for people of all ages and for all community members in Southern Monterey County.

— Sonia Chapa, Founder

It began with the intention of strengthening the community through art and culture
by developing a dedicated space to create, share and celebrate art.

In just 10 years, Sol Treasures has become a beacon of ever-expanding creativity on the main street of King City and a comprehensive art center. We note the incredible growth and development of your programs, your visionary use of your beautiful building and grounds,
and the strength of your organization.

We are grateful for your dedication to offering so many programs, which add to the vibrancy of the region — and this is developing arts and culture throughout our beautiful Monterey County.

— Simon Salinas, County Supervisor

My student’s confidence has soared.

Cesar is a model student. He played many songs for his classmates on the violin. We enjoyed it very much.

My favorite part was when Belle was helping her dad and I also like when Belle was dancing with the beast and when the teacups were singing.

— Child in the Audience

The program was great. My daughter had lots of fun and met new friends.

It is because of Sol Treasures that I am pursuing theater as a career choice. You taught me so much in life. Because of you I have been able to grow as an actress and a person. Now with even more of your help, I am able to go off to college in San Francisco to become an even better actress, No matter where I go in life, it will all be thanks to you.
