Who are we?

Who We Are

Sierra Art Trails is a California 501(c)(4) non-profit arts organization dedicated to supporting artists and artisans, promoting art education, and benefiting our communities through cultural tourism.

Our annual Open Studio Tour draws thousands of visitors to our area each year.

Sierra Art Trails also offers workshops, demonstrations, lectures, and special exhibits for artists and the general public. SAT raises funds for student sponsorships and scholarships, school art programs, public art, and other art related projects and organizations.

Sierra Art Trails is made possible by a dedicated group of volunteers responsible for managing and promoting the organization, planning exhibits, activities, and events, fundraising, and publishing the annual Sierra Art Trails catalog.
