The Calaveras County Arts Council is a small organization with a very big idea:
The arts are necessary.

The arts are a creative and vital part of life. The arts bring joy. They connect, bind, heal, and reassure us. The arts help us make sense of our world.
With gifts from members like you, we continue to serve, inspire, and unite our community by weaving the arts into the tapestry of life in Calaveras County. 

How do your contributions to the Calaveras County Arts Council keep the arts blooming in our communities?

• You support signature events like Music in the Parks and the Ovations winter concert series.
• You beautify our towns with public art 
• You give local artists a place to exhibit their work
• You support an arts economy that benefits the community

and MOST IMPORTANTLY, ​

• You make sure that kids in Calaveras public schools have arts education

Without you, the Arts Council could not do all that it does. We appreciate your generosity.
