Cultural Asset Inventory

The City of Sonoma is developing a Cultural Asset Inventory to identify and celebrate the people, places, traditions, and organizations that shape our city’s unique cultural identity. This effort supports the City’s new Public Art Program.

We are currently seeking input from the community to help build this inventory. If you know of a person, place, organization, event, or tradition that contributes to Sonoma’s cultural vibrancy, we want to hear from you!

Please submit your cultural asset(s) using the form below by Friday, July 25, 2025.

Cultural assets are the creative, historic, and community-driven elements that make Sonoma vibrant and meaningful. These can be:

• People – Artists, musicians, historians, culture bearers

• Places – Studios, galleries, performance spaces, historic sites

• Organizations – Cultural nonprofits, community groups, local businesses with cultural ties

• Practices – Traditions, ceremonies, foodways, festivals

• Public Art – Murals, sculptures, installations

• Events – Past and present celebrations, parades, and cultural happenings

While our primary focus is on assets within Sonoma city limits (see map), we also welcome contributions related to the broader Sonoma Valley that influence life in our community.

We're asking residents, artists, cultural workers, and community members to help us build this inventory. Please share the cultural assets you know and love by July 25, 2025, using the brief form below.
