The Cordova Community Council, with the support of local artists, helped launch arts programs in Rancho Cordova back in 2011. This local group of artist would eventually become Rancho Cordova Arts, and in 2018 Rancho Cordova Arts became it’s own 501c3.
In 2026, we’re excited to present our 54th, 55th, 56th, and 57th art shows at City Hall. If you live or work in Rancho Cordova, you can participate in any of our juried City Hall shows for free.
If you live and work outside the city of Rancho Cordova you can still join by becoming a member of Rancho Cordova Arts for only $30 year for individual, $15 for students, and $45 for a family of four.
Each Art@CityHall exhibition is displayed for about three months, with shows rotating quarterly. Three of these shows are themed, so it’s important to carefully read the prospectus to understand the guidelines. Every show is juried and judged by an external juror from the greater Sac Metro Area, adding to Rancho Cordova’s vibrant and growing arts scene.
Art at City Hall and the MACC located at 10191 Mills Station Rd., Rancho Cordova, Ca. are both home for the Rancho Cordova Arts group and take pride in the visual arts that Rancho Cordova has grown over the years.
You can also become involved by volunteering, it’s just another way to support the visual arts in Rancho Cordova. Join us today!

Beneath the Surface
The 39th Art at City Hall exhibit - “Beneath the Surface”. Have you ever looked below the surface? What happens when the visual layer is removed and you see inside, or you go below the surface/facade of something? These can be very engaging layers of objects, places, people, and things.
This will challenge perspective as the viewer is looking down on something from above,
This show is designed to promote each artist best work.
