    Founded in 1992, the Tustin Area Council for Fine Arts (TACFA) funds and administers programs which expand the arts in the greater Tustin Area and enrich the entire community.

    The Council raises funds through individual and corporate contributions and fund-raising events. These funds subsidize elementary students’ participation in the Fibo – Kid’s Art Academy, provide scholarships to graduating high school seniors, sponsor the Student Art Invitational to showcase local talent, support student creativity and interest in the arts, and allow TACFA to produce an annual affordable production of a classic Broadway musical at a local outdoor venue.

    TACFA’s Board Members are eager and hard-working volunteers who make all of this happen to enhance the quality of life in Tustin!
