The Center for the Arts has truly become the hub of arts for Nevada County. We are committed to bringing a diverse array of programming to western Nevada County, including music, dance, theater, film, visual art, comedy, youth arts education and literature. We manage and maintain a multi-use 21,000 square-foot facility in downtown Grass Valley that includes a 300-seat Main Theater, two visual art galleries, classroom space, and a 90-seat black box theater. We provide marketing and production services to support local artists and arts organizations and collaborate with area non-profits to provide event services and fundraising support.
The Center is the only cultural organization in Nevada County that offers a variety of events to such a large demographic. In more than 150 performances a year, we serve audiences from 2 to 90 years old and attract patrons from our area as well as Placer County, Sacramento, Tahoe, Reno, and the Bay Area. In addition to improving the local quality of life through a rich arts scene, The Center\’s visibility in outlying regions makes us a viable economic engine for the county. The Center is committed to building Nevada County as a destination for the arts.
