Amador County Arts Council is committed to keeping the arts central to Amador County life!
Established in 1982, Amador County Arts Council (“AmadorArts”) is a 501(c)3 non-profit and is the designated State-Local Partner (SLP) to the California Arts Council, a state agency.

- Awarding scholarships to graduating artists who are pursuing The Arts in college
- Making grants to support local creative projects that impact the community-at-large while uplifting the lives and voices of historically marginalized rural people
- Advocating for Arts Education and Racial Equity
- Arts Journalism — reporting local Arts Education and creative successes and challenges in the local newspaper
