Jazz at 808 6th Season Debuts on May 8

PlacerArts, founded in 1983, is a catalyst for the arts and humanities in Placer County.

Our purpose is:

• to promote arts education in schools and communities, arts and cultural organizations, arts businesses and professional and emerging artists of all disciplines;
• to support quality, affordable and accessible programs and services to residents and the visiting public;
• to provide technical assistance to affiliate agencies and artists;
• to cooperate with other agencies in the county, the Sierra Nevada region and the state to maximize resources; and
• to advocate for public and private investment in the arts and humanities.

PlacerArts encourages excellence and expansion of visual, musical, theatrical, literary, media, and dance art endeavors. We support a wide variety of Arts in Education programs in grades K-12 and for special constituencies. We engage professional performing, visual and literary artists to present dozens of annual public arts and cultural events and serve as a clearinghouse for information on the arts in Placer County.

We publish Perspectives, a bimonthly arts magazine, in partnership with the Roseville Cultural Arts Committee. Its purpose 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 in the area.

Placer Arts is the Arts Council of Placer County, a non-profit, public benefit agency founded in 1983 and the designated state-local partner of the California Arts Council for the County of Placer. PlacerArts is supported in part by the County of Placer, the city of Auburn and the city of Roseville.
