Arts and Culture El Dorado

$3,000 Goal

Arts and Culture El Dorado (formerly El Dorado Arts Council) has been at work in El Dorado County since 1985. Our organization brings arts education and cultural resources to a rural population for whom geographic location or economic limitations may be prohibitive. We design our programming to nurture artistic production locally, support the voices of working artists and their communities, and provide educational opportunities, while fostering respectful dialogue across diverse beliefs.

Mission

Arts and Culture El Dorado's mission to promote, connect, and empower arts and culture throughout the county is achieved by targeted programs and services, a vibrant gallery exhibition series, and a focus on initiatives which support and sustain the cultural life of the region.

Needs

We are especially excited about our newest program, the Young Artist Awards, which will recognize and reward the achievements and potential of four El Dorado County high school students in one of four categories -- Theatre, Visual Art, Nature Art, and Music. Each student will receive a $500 honorarium.

We hope that the Big Day of Giving will help us raise the funds for this important new program, which will help inspire our award-winning students to reach their greatest potential.

In addition to the Young Artist Awards, Arts and Culture El Dorado has a broad slate of programs scheduled for 2022. These include Veterans' Voices Writing Workshop, the County Poet Laureate and the Laureate Trail, Poetry Out Loud, a rotating gallery exhibition series, and more.
