Art at City Hall

If you are an artist who lives or works in Rancho Cordova and would like to show your art in this community program please REGISTER as an artist. You only need to do this one time. 

The art at city hall was started during the summer of 2012. Now in our 10th year, those city hall shows were the catalyst to forming a vibrant arts community in Rancho Cordova. Each year there are 4 shows in the halls with art sometimes on both the first and second floors. The Art @CityHall is a program that is produced and managed by the Cordova Council with assistance from RC Arts (local 501c3). If you would like to become involved in the arts in Rancho Cordova or want to become a member of Rancho Cordova Arts group, email Cheryl@cordovacouncil.org or fill out a Volunteer form.

Upcoming Calls for Art

MASKS

CALL FOR ARTISTS:

We invite you to submit work for the 47th Art at City Hall exhibit - "Masks". These do not have to be 3-dimentional masks, but if they are 3D they will be hung on the wall like 2D work. Painting and Photography are also great for the 2-dimensional art about masks. Again don't over think this too much. We will likely have a workshop at the MACC sponsored by RC Arts to give you ideas and suggestions. The Juror for this show will be Dwight Head local artist and curator of "New Spin on Vinyl Exhibit".
