The Nevada County Arts Council (NCAC),
a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization,
is the principal resource point for public inquiries
into the arts and cultural affairs of Nevada County.

Additionally, during its 27-year history,
NCAC has worked with our school districts to create
arts curriculum and artists-in-residence programs.
The Arts Council's long-standing history of collaboration,
and support for emerging artists and arts organizations,
has helped earn Nevada County its current reputation
as one of California's top three artistic rural communities.
