Honoring Those Who Make Vallejo Stronger
In 2024, Mare Island Art Studios and Artiszen Vallejo created the Art of Community Awards as part of the Art of Community Festival to recognize the individuals and organizations whose dedication to art, culture, service, and community helps make Vallejo such a special place to call home.
This year, we are honored to celebrate 15 incredible Vallejoans whose contributions have enriched our city in meaningful ways. Their stories remind us that community is built every day through creativity, compassion, leadership, and service.
