The Cordova Community Council, with the support of local artists, helped launch arts programs in Rancho Cordova. In 2025, we’re excited to present our 50th through 54th Art@CityHall exhibitions. If you live or work in Rancho Cordova, you can participate in any of our juried City Hall shows for free. Non-residents can still join by becoming a member of our local nonprofit arts group, Rancho Cordova Arts (RC Arts).
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 Sacramento arts community, adding to Rancho Cordova’s vibrant and growing arts scene.
To join RC Arts, visit RanchoCordovaArts.org. While you're online, take a look at what's happening at the Mills Station Arts and Culture Center (MACC).
You can also get involved by volunteering with Art@CityHall or the MACC. We always need help with intake, hanging exhibits, and gallery sitting. Whether you’re an artist or simply love the arts, you can be a part of our thriving arts community. Sign up today!
The Golden Age
The Art at City Hall exhibit in January 2025 will be our 50th show. The "Golden Age" show will be less about the era of the golden age and more about the use of the color Gold.

It's all about me!
CALL FOR ARTISTS:
The Art at City Hall exhibit in April 2025 will be our 51st show. The "It's all about me" show will be to create a work that represents you as a self-portrait. This work does not have to be completely realistic, use your imagination. In a world filled with selfies and cell phones we are the most photographed we have ever been in history. You may want to depict yourself in a recognizable place or with recognizable things that people would know it was you. Be Creative!

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.
