Project Description
With support from the CAC, the ACPC will continue operationalizing its 2026–2028 Strategic Plan, transitioning from passive arts support to a proactive, equity-driven backbone model. Funding will catalyze five key areas:
Reparative Grantmaking – Directing competitive capital into funding deserts identified via the Healthy Places Index (HPI).
Economic Justice and Advocacy – Expanding the Spark Advocacy sessions and “Artrepreneur” series to professionalize the creative workforce.
Inclusive Governance – Funding the Arts Coalition to unify regional voices and ensure rural representation in civic policy.
Visibility Capital – Producing the Arts & Culture Magazine and a countywide digital directory to provide free, high-level promotion for BIPOC, tribal, and rural artists.
Strategic Synergies – Deepening landmark partnerships, including the Indigenous Film Festival with the United Auburn Indian Community, arts-based mental health interventions with The Gathering Inn and implementation of the Poetry Out Loud Program.
Organization Summary
As the designated State-Local partner of the California Arts Council and Placer County, the Arts Council of Placer County (ACPC) administers the “Community Arts Grants.” These grants support and supplement a broad array of arts and cultural programs throughout Placer County, allowing more people to connect and benefit from more art. Priority for grant awards is placed on programs that serve historically underserved populations, and those who will most greatly benefit from art experiences.
ACPC provides artists and art lovers with many different resources for staying connected. Our Art Events Calendar provides a comprehensive list of upcoming events. Our Arts Directory includes listings of Placer County artists, venues, and organizations in all mediums. We actively promote the arts and the ACPC through our outreach program, which includes onsite participation with an interactive booth at concerts, festivals, and events that provide direct contact and engagement with the public.
We support arts in our county by helping all creative events and programs be successful. The ACPC provides hands on assistance, promotes arts programs, and connects audiences and participants. Additionally, we provide information, tools, and resources to assist in all things artistic, including partnering with arts organizations within the county and beyond. We work to leverage grant funding, and promote arts and culture to residents and visitors.
