Artwork for Music on the Green was created by Mariposa County High School junior Celianna Lee. Celianna is a versatile artist with a focus on digital illustration and acrylic painting. Her various inspirations have helped develop a contrast and color-orientated style, which play deeply into each composition. “I’m a passionate artist. Every piece I create is made with intention, emotion, and love. I chose dogwood flowers to symbolize our community.”

The Arts Councils is pleased to support emerging young artists like Celianna by providing professional, collaborative project opportunities that help build community connection.

Celianna’s first exhibition will be at Sticks Coffee (4993 7th St, Mariposa, CA 95338) through the month of August.

A complete schedule of the talent performing throughout this summer season can be found at mariposaartscouncil.org/music-on-the-green. Tips for the performers will be solicited, encouraged, and appreciated.

All performances begin at 7 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) at the Mariposa County Art Park, located on Hwy. 140, between 4th and 5th Streets, in historic downtown Mariposa, CA.

Parking is available along 5th Street. The lower 5th Street parking lot provides an accessible pedestrian path to the Art Park through the Mariposa Creek Parkway entry.

This cornerstone concert series is made possible with generous support from the following businesses and individuals: 

The Arts Council is an incorporated not-for-profit organization, created to promote and support all forms of the cultural arts, for all ages, throughout Mariposa County and is supported in part by the County of Mariposa, the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, and the California Arts Council, a state agency.
