About the provider

Petaluma Arts Center began in June 1998 as the Petaluma Arts Council and opened its permanent home in the Railroad Depot Freight Building in 2008. Its mission statement says, "Petaluma Arts Center builds community through art. As a vibrant creative hub, PAC makes art accessible to all, inspiring creativity, fostering connection, and creating meaningful opportunities for learning, expression, and engagement." The center presents rotating exhibitions, offers educational classes and workshops, hosts community events and performances, and provides professional development and support for artists through its membership programs; it also commits to cultural equity by addressing discrimination and eliminating barriers and plans an annual review of its diversity, equity and inclusion goals while collecting data on its board, staff, volunteers, and programming to ensure measurable outcomes.
