Following from the mission of the Sacramento Fine Art Center, it is clear that honoring and supporting the cultural life of our community includes all people, their cultures and their art. Artists are in a special position in their creative processes to inspire and to demonstrate the ways in which social injustice and inequity impact the lives of those who have experienced these historic discrimination-based practices.
Sac Arts commits itself to inclusion of all artists and the promotion of racial equity through its activities. This includes policies and procedures, show proposals, art classes and workshop presentations, Board governance, and other programs regularly presented by Sac Arts. This includes elimination of cultural messages and attitudes that have historically created adverse outcomes for communities of color and others who have experienced historic bias. Striving for equity means fair treatment, access and encouragement of all artists by creating a welcoming and encouraging environment in which any individual or group can feel welcome, respected and valued as an individual with unique history and potential for artistic development and appreciation.
Excellent fine art classes in most mediums and a full schedule of workshops put on by top regional artists are offered regularly to members and non-members.
