For over 30 years, Placer Artists Tour has given local artists exposure to the public and to each other, creating enduring relationships and enriching cultural vitality.
Your donation demonstrates your support of the Tour and allows us to continue to expand our audience in our community and beyond.
Over the last three years we have partnered with other organizations to extend the reach of our programs, including Symphony and Art in the Park with the Auburn Symphony, and Natural Wonders, bringing plein air artists and photographers to Placer Land Trust’s preserves followed by an exhibit of their resulting work.
Thanks to a generous donation in 2023, the Joanne K. Neft New and Emerging Artists Fund was established. This program allows us to provide mentoring and professional development for artists new to the Tour each year.
We have furthered our emphasis on arts education. We added Art Schools to the Tour two years ago, as they are preparing future generations of artists. Our online Arts Directory lists Tour artists who teach children and adults.
Your gift, by helping to sustain our organization, will ensure the enrichment of Placer County both culturally and economically.
Cultural equity
Placer Artists Tour, board and staff encourage cultural equity and support artists of all backgrounds to join the Tour. Cultural equity is crucial to the future health of arts in our communities. Everyone, including but not limited to those who have been historically under represented, deserves access to a full creative life and an opportunity to share with the public on the Placer Artists Tour.
