The Sacramento Fine Art Center (Sac Arts), established in 1986, is a nonprofit organization located in Carmichael and is one of the largest community art centers in the unincorporated area of Sacramento County. With a membership of over nearly 400 artists, 50% percent in the over 60 age group, Sac Arts provides over 7000 square feet of exhibit, classroom, and studio space. Sac Arts provides exhibits, classes, workshops, art opportunities, and events as a major art facility serving Sacramento and surrounding counties. Sac Arts is home to a collaboration of art groups, including Northern California Arts (NCA), representing artists of all media and styles, and Watercolor Artists of Sacramento Horizons (WASH), supporting water media artists. Our members come from nearly every Sacramento county zip code as well as thirteen other California counties. The Galleries are open 32 hours per week, at no cost to visitors. Sac Arts is run by volunteers, with a very small staff, and is self-supporting through show and class revenue as well as several annual fundraising activities.

Our programs include juried exhibitions, group exhibitions, and solo shows. The organization also offers a variety of classes and demonstrations. Sac Arts hosts 36 juried exhibits were held in the larger galleries with 26 separate artist-led courses and workshops presented for 215 sessions in the studio. Artist receptions are held on the second Saturday of every month with live music and food provided. Approximately 10,000 people visit Sac Arts annually.

Monthly club meetings for (WASH) and (NCA) provide free art demonstrations by noted artists. Members are apprised of activities through a bimonthly newsletter and social media announcing shows, classes, and special projects. Sac Arts offers free quarterly lectures on business development for artists and low-cost bimonthly tech assistance for artists.
