Susan Cooley Gilliom Artist in Residence & Teaching Program (SCG ART Program)
Placer Community Foundation (PCF) is a nonprofit public benefit corporation which manages the Susan Cooley Gilliom Artist in Residence & Teaching Program (SCG ART Program). In partnership with PCF the program is housed through Blue Line Arts in Roseville, CA.
The SCG ART program brings established artists to Placer County for the purpose of teaching and sharing their artistic talents and experience to the greater community.
