The Arts Council of Placer County (dba PlacerArts) was established in 1983 as a not-for-profit agency.

As the catalyst for the arts and humanities in Placer County, the Council encourages excellence and expansion of visual, musical, theatrical, literary, media, and dance art endeavors. The Arts Council serves as a center point for collecting and distributing information on the arts across Placer County.  It also publishes a bimonthly arts magazine, Perspectives.

Our mission is to create a forum for communication for artists and art organizations in Placer County and to increase awareness of activities and programs related to arts and culture across the county.
