Living the Arts
The Cordova Community Council is proud to champion the arts in 2026 and beyond. We believe art isn’t just something you hang on a wall or perform on a stage—it’s the heartbeat of our community. That’s why we never stop creating, innovating, and growing our vibrant arts scene right here in Rancho Cordova.
From quarterly City Hall art displays to special events at The MACC, Rancho Cordova Arts is where imagination meets opportunity. Whether you’re a professional artist, a weekend hobbyist, or simply someone who loves the beauty of artistic expression—this is your community. Come connect, create, and be inspired.

The MACC
The heart of the arts in Rancho Cordova
Every exhibit, performance, and creative gathering brings us one step closer to fulfilling the City’s Arts Strategic Plan vision of being “a place for art and artists.” We’re not just talking about that vision. We’re living it.
Rancho Cordova Arts
Where Creativity comes to Life
Rancho Cordova Arts represents the visual soul of our creative movement. Led by active artists from our own community, this dynamic group organizes fine art exhibits, artist talks, and workshops that inspire both emerging and established creators.
Rancho Cordova River City Concert Band
The Soundtrack of our City
The Rancho Cordova River City Concert Band brings the joy of live music to life with nearly 70 volunteer musicians who perform across the city and the region. Their spirited performances—always free and always uplifting—span everything from timeless classics to beloved modern favorites.
Under the skilled direction of Conductor Tom Seaton, this band is the musical heartbeat of community celebrations, holiday gatherings, and veterans’ events. When the band plays, the whole city listens.
Symphony d'Oro
The Golden Sound of Rancho Cordova
Celebrating its 12th anniversary in 2025, Symphony d’Oro (formerly the Rancho Cordova Civic Light Orchestra) continues to shine as one of our community’s most treasured cultural gems. Under the baton of Conductor Pete Nowlen, its 60 talented musicians bring fresh energy and imagination to every performance—transforming familiar favorites into unforgettable experiences.
From traditional concert halls to creative pop-up performances, Symphony d’Oro is redefining what a community symphony can be. It’s proof that great music doesn’t just belong in big cities—it belongs right here, in Rancho Cordova.
