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.

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.
