Organization Summary

Blue Line Arts is a gallery and arts center that offers a range of educational and community programs within the visual arts.

Exhibitions:
The gallery serves as a fine arts hub for the community, bringing contemporary art exhibitions admission-free to the public. We provide a platform for artists of all skill levels within the community, hosting artist lectures, and providing accessible live arts events.

Adult education and workforce development:
-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.

Youth Education:
-Tour Talk & Create serves over 1,500 students annually, with free school group tours and hands-on arts learning for under-resourced schools.
-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 nonprofits and homeschool groups, and special camps serving at-risk youth.

Public Art:
Through the Roseville Mural Project and related initiatives, Blue Line Arts activates public art across the region in partnership with organizations such as Placer One, the Downtown Roseville Partnership (PBID), the City of Roseville, Sacramento State University, and local schools and nonprofits. Through events and walking tours, the organization connects residents and visitors to revitalized downtown spaces while fostering dialogue about how public art shapes place, identity, and community.
