The Tehama County Arts Council (TCAC) was established in 1982 by the Tehama County Board of Supervisors to promote visual and performing arts as well as other cultural endeavors in Tehama County. 

Mission Statement: The Tehama County Arts Council is a non-profit organization committed to serving the community by cultivating an appreciation for the arts, providing artistic opportunities and events, and sponsoring and supporting local artists and artistic endeavors.

Since its incorporation as a 501(c) (3) nonprofit public benefit corporation in September of 1985, the TCAC has coordinated, sponsored, funded, produced, and participated in hundreds of local arts events. It is governed by a volunteer 15-member Board of Directors which over the years has included many familiar and prominent Tehama County personalities and artists. Funding comes from membership dues, event ticket sales, community donations, fundraising, and grant monies which are used to support various county arts-related events and projects.

Membership dues and donations have enabled the TCAC to recently support three major community events:

Additional benefits of TCAC membership include the receipt of a quarterly newsletter, a monthly e-newsletter, an artist referral service, networking opportunities, and mobile art display boards use.  In addition, the TCAC provides grants to local artistic endeavors as the budget allows.

The TCAC is always looking for opportunities to partner with, sponsor and/or support new and additional artistic endeavors for the community.
