About

The Siskiyou Arts Council (SAC) was established in 1972 as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, membership-based, volunteer-driven, public benefit non-profit corporation which serves as the local arts planning and programming agency for Siskiyou County. SAC is authorized by the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors to serve as the County’s representative to the California Arts Council’s State-Local Partnership Program.

The mission of the Siskiyou Arts Council is to value creativity, promote education and excite our community’s particiation in the visual, performing and literary arts.

The grass roots vision of the Siskiyou Arts Council spans three decades, from the mid 1970’s through the present day, offering this county a wide range of art-related services and events. The purpose of Siskiyou Arts Council is to encourage widespread public participation in the arts in all areas of the county; to fiscally sponsor and support emerging art groups and projects; and to promote awareness of the value and impact of the arts in our lives. SAC emphasizes arts in education and reaching all of Siskiyou County’s rural and under-served communities.

The Board of Directors and volunteers of SAC believe that the vitality of local art and artists is an essential part of our community’s growth, expression, and prosperity. Therefore, it is of great importance to support an effective Arts Council that enriches the quality of life for all residents of Siskiyou County.
