Dear Friends of the Arts,

As we close out another year, I am filled with gratitude and pride as I reflect on all we’ve accomplished together in 2024. The arts are the heartbeat of our community, and this year that heartbeat pulsed stronger than ever.

From inspiring exhibitions and performances to dynamic programs that connected artists with audiences across Placer County, the impact of our collective creativity has been truly remarkable.

Thanks to your unwavering support, we have nurtured local talent, championed arts education, and brought the transformative power of the arts to countless lives. The arts have also made our community stronger. Our non-profit arts and culture organizations had a profound $26.1 million economic impact in Placer County (in 2022).

Barbara Burge, Managing Director, the ACPC Staff, volunteers and contractors are to be commended for all of their hard work and efforts for a successful year!

As we look to 2025, we remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering a thriving arts ecosystem. We aim to deepen our impact, advocate for creative opportunities, and ensure that art continues to inspire, connect, and uplift every corner of Placer County.

None of this would be possible without you—our incredible supporters, artists, and partners. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Together, we are shaping a brighter, more vibrant future.

Wishing you a joyous holiday season and a New Year filled with creativity, connection, and inspiration.

We invite you to support programs like the Create Club and more by making a contribution to the Arts Council of Placer County.

Contributions are tax deductible.

Arts are an investment that provide both 

cultural and economic benefits to the community.

Arts Council of Placer County is proud to be the state and local partner of California Arts Council and Placer County Economic Development
