About CCAS

The Center for Contemporary Art, Sacramento, founded in 1989, is a member-supported, nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement and appreciation of new and experimental art by international, national and regional artists.

Artists who have exhibited at CCAS include Christopher Brown, Hans Hoffman, Diane de Kooning, Steve Kaltenbach, William Wiley, Troy Dalton, Jack Ogden, James Albertson, Brenda Louie, Joan Moment, Tony Natsoulas, Craig N. Smith, Gerald Walburg, and John Yoyogi Fortes.

CCAS functions as more than a contemporary art center, hosting special events, such as the Annual Benefit Art Auction, CAST (Capitol Artists Studio Tour), monthly lectures and workshops for art students. In addition to the longtime support of the public, artistic community and corporate sponsors, CCAS has a strong and dedicated board of directors.

CCAS is the frequent focus of newspaper and magazine articles published in Artweek magazine, the Sacramento Bee, Sacramento Magazine, and the Sacramento News and Review.  A review of artist Christopher Brown’s exhibition at CCAS appeared in the November 2005 issue of Artweek magazine.

The future of CCAS lies on solid foundation.  CCAS was founded in downtown Sacramento on 15^th Street 17 years ago, but subsequently relocated to Del Paso Boulevard.  CCAS has relocated back to midtown Sacramento, at 1519 19^th Street.  With great assistance from the building's owner, Steven Moore of Rex Moore Electrical Contractors & Engineers, CCAS opened at its new location in midtown Sacramento on August 6, 2005.
