A Center for Local Culture
Cabrillo is a community hub for art, culture, business, and lifelong personal exploration.
People from across the county come here to engage their minds and enrich their spirits by taking extension classes, catching live performances, wandering through The Cabrillo Gallery, or pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams.
Visual, Applied, and Performing Arts
The VAPA Division brings full-scale Broadway musicals to the Monterey Bay Area via year-round Cabrillo Stage productions. Along with our celebrated Symphonic Chorus, Cantimo! performances, Jazz Series, and eight annual exhibits as the Cabrillo Gallery, extraordinary events constantly are happening at our Visual and Performing Arts Complex.
Explore the Public Art on Cabrillo's campuses.
Campus and Community Life
There's more to attending Cabrillo than going to classes. Join a club. Get involved in student government. Take in a game at our sports complex (Go Seahawks!). Listen to live music at the Samper Recital Hall. Shop the Farmers Market. Check out the Solari Green Technology Center in Watsonville.
And that's just on campus. You're always just minutes from prime surfing, mountain biking, and hiking, and some of the best skate and bike shops you'll find anywhere. Live the Central Coast life.
Cabrillo Extension
Enrich your life, pick up some new job skills, or help your kids explore their interests.
Cabrillo Extension offers fun workshops and career-enhancing classes to the community in subjects as varied as cooking, computers, photography, medical insurance billing, business leadership, game design, drawing, healthcare, and much, much more.
Cabrillo College Foundation
The Cabrillo College Foundation provided $2,632,008 to Cabrillo College last year to provide scholarships, support student services like tutoring, and provide grants for faculty and staff to improve learning.
Donations to Cabrillo are investments in the human potential of our students and the wider community we serve.
