With support from the California Arts Council, the Arts Council of Placer County will advance the CAC’s mission by funding organizational operations, program partnerships, community grants, marketing, resource sharing, and the Poetry Out Loud Program. 1) Organizational operations and staff to manage projects, prepare reports, attend meetings, fundraise, collaborate and develop a data management plan. 2) Program Partnerships-directed actions entering into agreements with organizations to implement programs for under-served artists, art organizations and community members to participate in the arts. 3) Community Grants-competitive regranting for high priority art projects that reach those with the greatest need. 4) Marketing-providing graphics and promotional materials to support the arts, art organizations, and art events. 5) Resources Sharing – producing email news updates, social media, and maintaining the website as an information hub. 6) Poetry Out Loud Program.
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.
