Healdsburg Center for the Arts is a 501(c3) non-profit organization dedicated to creating, inspiring, and promoting the arts through community education programs, events, and exhibitions.
History of HCA:
Healdsburg Center for the Arts has a history that goes back twenty-six years. Incorporated in December 1993, Healdsburg Arts Council (HAC) was formed to advance the arts and art education in the Healdsburg community and to further the community artists, writers and performers by providing performance opportunities, library readings, visual art presentations, and educational workshops in the arts for artists, art patrons, and students.
In 2010 Healdsburg Center for the Arts (HCA) was established and has gradually expanded the programs to include a gift area of artisan made work; growing the education program to include a mentoring program for artists, ongoing art instruction, after school programs and a six week Summer Art Camp; and expanding the exhibitions with a nationwide call for artists for one exhibit a year. One of the most popular exhibitions is the Young Artist Show, featuring works from ten area elementary schools, as well as the HCA youth education program. In 2016, over 410 young people had their art on display for the month long exhibit.
This vibrant organization exists with a team of dedicated volunteers who staff the gallery, coordinate and assist at events, hang exhibits, and serve in an advisory role to the Board. Completing the team is our Executive Director and a contract Creative Education Coordinator. A very involved Board of Directors oversees and guides the organization.
