The Center for Contemporary Art, Sacramento

Location

The Center for Contemporary Art, Sacramento, founded in 1989, is a member-supported, nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement and appreciation of new and experimental art by international, national and regional artists. CCAS functions as more than a contemporary art center, hosting special events, such as the Annual Benefit Art Auction, CAST (Capitol Artists Studio Tour), monthly lectures and workshops for art students. In addition to the longtime support of the public, artistic community and corporate sponsors, CCAS has a strong and dedicated board of directors. CCAS is committed to serving the Sacramento community for the long term. CCAS was founded in downtown Sacramento on 15th Street in 1989, and subsequently relocated to Del Paso Boulevard. With great assistance from the building's owner, Steven Moore of Rex Moore Electrical Contractors & Engineers, CCAS opened at its current location in midtown Sacramento on August 6, 2005.
