Citrus Heights Arts announced the establishment of a Citrus Heights Arts and Culture Council in a news release earlier this month. The nonprofit calls the council formation a “dynamic initiative” designed to foster creativity and cultural diversity in the city.
“The Citrus Heights Arts and Culture Council will serve as a pivotal platform for artists, performers, artisans, and cultural enthusiasts to collaborate, showcase their work, and engage with the community,” the nonprofit wrote in their announcement, adding that the establishment of the council communicates the nonprofit’s commitment to “harnessing and celebrating the wealth of creativity” in the local community.
The stated goals of the council will be to promote both emerging and existing local talent, offer diverse cultural enrichment experiences through exhibitions, workshops, and festivals, provide arts education and outreach to encourage creativity, and to facilitate more community engagement between artists, residents, businesses, and civic organizations.
The council also hopes to collaborate with local stakeholders to “enhance public spaces with thought-provoking installations and murals” that represent the spirit of Citrus Heights.
Citrus Heights Arts is a nonprofit organization with a mission of promoting and supporting the arts in Citrus Heights and its surrounding communities. The nonprofit organization regularly hosts workshops, classes, and local events, and collaborates with local artists to create public art displays throughout Citrus Heights.
An upcoming ArtBeat event will return to the Marketplace at Birdcage this summer, from May 31-June 2, 2024. Those interested in learning more can find more information posted at citrusheightsarts.org.
