Advancing Community Through Arts And Culture
The Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission (SMAC) actively fosters, develops and advocates support of the arts within Sacramento City and County. SMAC is a valuable resource and community hub, helping to create a vital arts scene that advances the quality of life in our region for residents and visitors alike, as well as contributes to a growing economy. We do this largely through our programs.

SMAC Programs
SMAC is dedicated to the principles of inclusion, accessibility and diversity. All of our programs are implemented through open, accountable and transparent public processes.

These are our main Program areas:
Art in Public Places — Making Everyday Places into Extraordinary Spaces.
Grants and Cultural Programs — Supporting the Artists and Arts Groups Who Enrich Our Region.
Arts Education — Cultivating Creativity in People of All Ages.
Arts Marketing and Cultural Tourism — Making Sacramento a Dynamic Cultural Destination.
