With support from the California Arts Council, Tehama County Arts Council will develop and produce programs, services, and activities designed to strengthen the arts, culture, and creative expression within our communities. We will advocate for the arts to guarantee accessibility for all community members and create a creative community where all populations are uplifted through the arts. By fostering cultural development at the local level, we will create, present, and preserve the arts of all cultures to enrich our quality of life. We will present Art Walk, Missoula Children’s Theatre, Student Art Contest, Cowboy Poetry, Community Grants, Poetry Out Loud , provide classes, workshops, book signings, musical experiences, lectures and partner with community groups to ensure the arts remain a vibrant and integral part of our community, celebrating diversity and promoting inclusivity in every initiative.
The Tehama County Arts Council (TCAC) was established in 1982 by the Tehama County Board of Supervisors to promote visual and performing arts as well as other cultural endeavors in Tehama County. Since incorporating as a 501(c) (3) nonprofit public benefit corporation in September 1985, the TCAC has coordinated, sponsored, funded, produced, and participated in hundreds of local arts events. The TCAC functions as an umbrella organization, encouraging and supporting the visual arts, dance, theater, music, design, and more. In recent years the impact of the TCAC on the community has been greatly enhanced by an art gallery and increasing activity in our community art studio. We bring art to our citizens and honor local artists with support through inclusion in community activities we sponsor and grant support.
