Meet the board.
Meet the staff.
We are committed to invigorating the arts in our local and regional community through education, support, and practice. We accomplish that by providing the space, the resources, and the opportunities to facilitate the arts.
We envision a community that encourages, strengthens, creates, and grows together—where, together, artists and performers engage their audiences through story, painting, song, enactment, or other form of creative expression.
What we do
Education
Shasta County Arts Council curates classes and workshops for all ages and skill levels in many areas of artistic expression. Whether you’re a beginning painter or a seasoned performer, SCAC offers education for everyone.
Support
SCAC provides a platform for local professional and emerging artists to display and sell their work in our Old City Hall gallery and pop up shows throughout the year. We also act as a fiscal sponsor for arts start-ups on their way to becoming independent not-for-profit organizations.
Practice
SCAC applies its belief in a community that creates together through the hosting of arts events, the push for public art, and the sharing of arts opportunities and affairs in weekly email newsletters.
Shasta County Arts Council is housed in the historic Old City Hall Arts Center.
Located in the vibrant Downtown Redding core, Old City Hall is the perfect place to hold theatre performances, concerts, events, and more.
