Trinity County Arts Council represents a deeply rural and underserved community and has an abiding commitment to prioritize social and racial equity. Outreach and Access to our underserved communities is highly prioritized and underlies all of our programming, including those regions in the lowest 15% HPI, and underserved cultural communities including the Hmong, Native American, Latinx, LGBTQ+, and the geographically remote. All TCAC programs and services are designed, evaluated, and regularly improved in order to equitably reach all of our citizens, provide direct access to the arts and culture by diverse ages and demographics, and assist in the development of professional artists and community arts organizations while promoting Trinity County as an Arts & Culture Destination. We facilitate arts education for all ages through workshops offered locally and outside of Trinity. We prioritize youth arts education through the Festival of Light Art Music & Dance Scholarship, and Artists in Schools Programs, augmenting k-12 arts education, and involvement in the North State Together internship program. We provide opportunities for musicians and artists to network, exhibit and sell their art through the signature events that we produce. These events have a proven track record for attracting residents and visitors from beyond Trinity County; Monthly Art Walk, Artists in Action, Wintu We Are Still Here Project, Get To Know Your Neighbors Storytelling and Culture Project; Festival of Light Crafts Event and Art, Music and Dance Lessons Scholarship Program, Art 4 Arts Sake, Music in the Park, Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival, and Trinity Heritage Days Festival. Artists enjoy increased exposure to a wide audience through the Art in Public Places Program.
