Welcome!
The Sierra County Arts Council welcomes you to its web site!
The Sierra County Arts Council (SCAC) is a member-supported 501 (c) (3) nonprofit public benefit corporation established in 1981 to promote, support and advocate the arts throughout Sierra County, California. The Sierra County Board of Supervisors has designated the Arts Council as the State Local Partner of the California Arts Council, a state agency, annually since 1981. The SCAC business office has been located in the historic Yuba Theatre in Downieville since 1996.
The Sierra County Arts Council is proud to be a member of the California Arts Council's State Local Partnership Program.
We're glad that you took the time to visit our site. The Arts Council relies on the contributions of volunteers and the general public to ensure that programming efforts continue to grow and enhance the quality of life for Sierra County residents and visitors. Everyone is welcome to participate in its programs and events. We hope to see you soon.
The next few years will be pivotal for the Arts Council. Sierra County has obtained a grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation to acquire the Yuba Theatre and surrounding property in Downieville. The County will be seeking to ensure that the facility is well operated and managed. The Arts Council intends to play a major role in the future of the Yuba Theatre, and the cultural life of all of Sierra County. Come join us!
