PlacerArts, founded in 1983, is a catalyst for the arts and humanities in Placer County.
Our purpose is:
- to promote arts education in schools and communities, arts and cultural organizations, arts businesses and professional and emerging artists of all disciplines;
- to support quality, affordable and accessible programs and services to residents and the visiting public;
- to provide technical assistance to affiliate agencies and artists;

PlacerArts encourages excellence and expansion of visual, musical, theatrical, literary, media, and dance art endeavors. We support a wide variety of Arts in Education programs in grades K-12 and for special constituencies. We engage professional performing, visual and literary artists to present dozens of annual public arts and cultural events and serve as a clearinghouse for information on the arts in Placer County.
We publish Perspectives, a bimonthly arts magazine, in partnership with the Roseville Cultural Arts Committee. Its purpose is to create a forum for communication for artists and art organizations in Placer County and to increase awareness of activities and programs related to arts and culture in the area.
