Your Year End Giving Supports the Arts in Placer County
As the holidays approach, the Placer Artists Tour team extends heartfelt gratitude for the generous community support that helps us thrive. Thousands joined us in November to meet local artists, explore galleries, and visit art schools that nurture the next generation of creators.
Your year-end donation keeps this momentum strong, and we deeply appreciate everyone who contributes during this season.
We encourage year-end gifts to the Joanne K. Neft New & Emerging Artists Fund. This fund provides mentoring and fee reductions to help artists enhance their career development.
“I felt the support of the Placer Artists Tour for artists who have not had a lot of experience showing their work before. It is hard to take the first step for the first time–emotionally and financially.” – Kristin Aplin
We are pleased to introduce you to Kristin Aplin, one of the recipients of the 2024 Joanne K. Neft New & Emerging Artists Fund.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the most effective way for you to donate. Contact us here.
We wish you a joyful holiday season and thank you for giving where your heART is!
