Tehama County Arts Council Board

The Tehama County Arts Council is led by a volunteer Board of Directors whose members are passionate about supporting the arts. This dedicated group of individuals includes both prominent personalities and talented artists who bring a diverse range of perspectives to the table. Together, they work hard to raise the necessary funds to support various arts-related events and projects throughout the county. In addition to membership dues and event ticket sales, TCAC relies on community donations, fundraising efforts, and grant monies to make it all happen. With the support of the community behind them, TCAC is able to continue celebrating and cultivating the arts in all their many forms.
