Joanne K. Neft New & Emerging Artists Fund
A large part of the mission of Placer Artists Tour is to support and encourage Placer County’s new and emerging artists. We focus on mentoring these artists so that they have a successful Tour and receive positive feedback to support their artistic journey.
Joanne Neft has supported the arts in Placer County for over 40 years. She was instrumental in the creation of the arts center previous known as The Arts Building and now called General Gomez Arts.
Her inspiration and involvement helped create “Outside the Box”, a program formerly presented by the Arts Council of Placer County, and now being “Reimagined” by Placer Artists Tour in May, 2025.
Joanne has dedicated many years to discovering new artists and supporting them early in their careers, which inspired us to name this important program to acknowledge her.
These are some of the ways this fund contributes to the support of new artists:
- Underwriting fee reductions for first time Tour artists
- Mentoring & workshops:
- An Application workshop for first time artists
- A Tour Orientation just for first time artists
- Mentoring by Regional Leaders and Tour Founder Helen Phillips
- The New Artists Showcase, hosted in 2024 by Springhill Suites
- Surveying Tour artists to find what future workshops would help in their career development
