Cultural Arts

The City of Milpitas is proud to offer a variety of art programs, which add to the vitality of the community. The Milpitas Arts and Culture Grant Program (MACG) is a competitive grant program where both group and individuals can apply for funding. The Phantom Art Gallery is located in the Milpitas Community Center. Display space is available for artists to display their work, once approved by the Arts Commission. Rainbow Theatre is a youth theatre program for ages 8-18. Our young performers produce six shows throughout the year, in addition to two Satellite shows that are performed at school sites in Milpitas, performed by the children who attend that school.
