Shasta County Arts Council (SCAC) is housed in the City of Redding’s National Registry 1907 City Hall – 8,000 sq. feet that includes a classroom, ballroom, television studio, administrative offices and a pocket park next door. Our gallery features 13 exhibits annually including High School & Middle School Juried Art Competitions where 20+ schools participate. SCAC was the first arts council in the state to manage a public access television station (SCAC.tv) and we now teach digital media arts skills to at-risk youth and interested public members. Our ballroom is host to classical music monthly (we own a Yamaha Grand piano), ballroom, ballet & modern dance classes weekly, concerts, performances as well as theater throughout the year. We also host community meetings & rentals, using our space 300+ days per yr. SCAC is the lead agency for the newly formed Redding Cultural District which is one of 14 districts throughout the State of California.
