Calaveras Arts Council Non Profit Art Agency 501(c)3 The Calaveras County Arts Council was formed as an arts non-profit organization in 1981. Q: Who benefits?

Their mission is to support, nourish, and awaken the arts in our community. And their purpose is to network with arts-related organizations and individuals, schools, and businesses to provide a cultural vitality in our area. When you walk into the council’s office on Main Street in San Andreas, you’ll witness a hub-bub of activity. The staff of 2 are usually handling about six projects at a time, not to mention greeting visitors to the gallery which is the artistic part of the office. All major arts disciplines are promoted through their programs – the major ones include: Arts in Education , "Ovations"- a winter performing arts series; "Music in the Parks"– free weekly summer concerts; the annual Artists Studio Tour, Webpage featuring all kinds of information; Artists Scholarships; and being the Community Arts Liaison –providing assistance to theatre companies, artists, galleries, and writers’ groups. The Arts Council has earned a statewide reputation of being a model local arts agency. Where does the council’s support come from? Annual State of California grants, local grants such as from the Office of Education, individual schools, and the Calaveras Community Foundation. Two recent grant awards from the National Endowment for the Arts help as well. Also, from the County, discounted rent on the county bldg in which the council is housed. Of course, local support from memberships, fundraisers, admissions to concerts and outright contributions keep the Arts Council alive, serving residents and visitors. A: About 3,000 local school children, 85 teachers, all the thousands of folks who attend the many concerts, gallery shows, studio tours, and not to mention about 150 visual artists, 140 musicians, various writers, and many others who inspire us through the arts.

If you recognize any of these images then you already know what ANIME is. Anime hails from Japan and simply means animation. It gained popularity in the late 1990s in the USA.

But you were watching Astro Boy and Speed Racer long before then. 😉

Holy Time Travel! This show is killer! On the edge of your seat thriller. Great performances by all.And really good lighting. 🙃 Thank you Murphys Creek Theatre for continuing to bring quality theater to our humble community.

SO... YOU MISSED OPENING NIGHT. 😱

Lucky for you, Spirit/Song isn’t disappearing into the fog just yet. 😁

The World Premiere is officially underway, and we’ve got four more chances to see it over the next few days:

Saturday, October 3 at 7:30 PM
Sunday, October 4 at 2:00 PM

Tuesday, October 6 at 7:30 PM • COMMUNITY NIGHT
Wednesday, October 7 at 12:00 PM • MID-WEEK MATINEE

A remote lighthouse. A storm. A séance. A little Chopin. A few ghosts. And one very unexpected love story that refuses to stay in its own century.

Our ticket prices are a little less mysterious than the lighthouse. Every performance is Pay-What-You-Can, so choose the price that works for you. Or Pay-It-Forward and help another wandering soul find their way to a seat. 👻
