The Arts Council for Monterey County is a nonprofit organization focused on expanding access to the arts and using the arts to improve the quality of life in Monterey County. It traces its origins to 1982, when Ansel Adams and local civic, arts, and business leaders helped establish the agency as part of a nationwide movement supported by the National Endowment for the Arts. The organization is based in Monterey, California, and operates within the education administration sector to foster community access to arts and culture.

It provides arts education to thousands of students annually and offers promotional, technical, and financial support to more than 50 arts organizations, supported by funding from the Monterey County Board of Supervisors and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. It relies on a broad network of PTAs, foundations, businesses, and individuals to support its work and aims to reach residents who historically had limited access to the arts. In 2025, the council expanded its offices to Monterey, signaling ongoing growth and regional collaboration.
