About OAC

The City of Sacramento’s Office of Arts and Culture is dedicated to supporting, promoting and advancing the arts throughout Sacramento. Together with other city and civic partners, the Office of Arts and Culture is working toward development of a vibrant and just creative economy in Sacramento. It serves as a source of information on the state and impact of the creative economy and works cross-functionally within City government to achieve shared goals.

Accountability – Building trust and strengthening relationships through our actions.

Creativity – Honoring and uplifting all forms and levels of creative expression, as a part of the fully-lived, human experience.

Empathy – Leading with understanding and respect — honoring multiple perspectives, lived experiences, and ways of being.

Equity – Upholding the shared values of diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging.

Partnerships – Expanding the impact of our collective actions and serving as a bridge to increased knowledge, networks, resources, and opportunities.

Supporting the Creative Economy  

The creative economy is one of the fastest growing segments of the economy worldwide. Sacramento’s creative economy is comprised of individuals, non-profits, for-profits and community-based groups that are active through an ever-changing set of production and distribution channels in a rich array of disciplines.

The Office of Arts and Culture works closely with the Sacramento Arts, Culture and Creative Economy Commission, which is a 12-member advisory body appointed by the Sacramento City Council. 

Sign up for the Office of Arts and Culture newsletter 

The Office of Arts and Culture sends out a monthly newsletter and periodically sends additional email notices about upcoming OAC events, grants, or public art opportunities.  

Follow us on social media
