Project Description

Blue Line Arts seeks funding from the California Arts Council for “Light, Color & Culture.” Our project partners local artist Stan Padilla with Placer ARC, a local nonprofit serving adults with disabilities, to address community art needs. With CAC funds, we’ll host free access exhibitions, workshops, and a public art project in close collaboration to ensure inclusivity and self-expression. We aim to uplift and empower participants, while promoting equity and amplifying diverse voices in our community.

Organization Summary

-Annually, the gallery hosts the SCG Artist Residency and Teaching program twice a year, and offers a variety of professional development workshops for working artists.
-The Art at Work program expands available exhibition opportunities to local artists through partnerships with local businesses.
-The Internship program provides college students and recent graduates with hands-on experience to prepare them for a successful transition into an arts or nonprofit career field.

-Year-round youth arts classes are offered at the lowest cost possible or free of charge, and include after school enrichment courses, seasonal camps, sessions for educational pods and homeschool groups, and special camps serving at-risk youth.
