Encouraging, Supporting, and Promoting the Arts in our Schools and Community for more than 30 years.
The Amador County Arts Council was first established in 1981.
For more than 30 years, the Amador County Arts Council has worked as a non-profit public benefit organization to nurture the cultural vitality of our area. We believe the arts of Amador are a resource that contributes to our economy, much like water, timber, wine and tourism. Our organization strives to protect and develop this resource by creating programs and events that promote the arts in our community and schools.
The purpose of AmadorArts is to be the catalyst for the arts by acting as a central dispenser of any federal, state, or private monies to county artists and arts organization; by developing programs to enhance the arts in the county; by stimulating the economic environment so as to promote county arts and artists; by establishing and maintaining relationships with local, regional, and national arts organizations; and by operating as a liaison between the Amador County Board of Supervisors and the arts community.
One of our principle goals to to promote arts education in our schools. Each year AmadorArts contracts with local professional artists to provide art classes in the elementary schools. In 2013, nearly 1,000 elementary school students will participate in an art class facilitated by AmadorArts.
To encourage, support and promote the Arts in our Schools and Community.
