Placer Artists Tour returns for its 33rd year; organizers seek continued county support
Summary
Program director Kelly Peterson briefed supervisors on the Placer Artists Tour’s 33rd season, related events and education workshops, citing more than 5,000 visitors and fundraising to support artist programming and an endowment.
Kelly Peterson, program director for the Placer Artists Tour, updated the Placer County Board of Supervisors on the nonprofit’s 33rd-year lineup and related activities during the board’s Jan. 6 meeting.
Peterson said the tour drew more than 5,000 visitors in 2025, reported successful fundraising events and several new partnerships with local institutions, and highlighted education and mentorship initiatives for emerging artists. Events described included a gratitude celebration, a “Big Day of Giving” participation, an auction‑style fundraising evening called “Outside the Box,” a New Artists Showcase, and the annual Symphony and Art in the Park collaboration.
Peterson asked for continued county support for the tour’s events and described how the program measures participation via QR codes at venue entrances. Board members thanked program staff and encouraged continued outreach to underserved parts of the county.
The presentation did not require formal action but provided a public update on a longstanding local arts program and its community benefits.
