Petaluma Arts Center
Mission
PAC first formed in June 1998 as the Petaluma Arts Council. Ten years later, with the support of the City of Petaluma and a generous donor, we opened the Petaluma Arts Center next door to the Petaluma Visitors Center and the SMART Train station. Today, through diverse art exhibitions, performances, education, and stimulating discussions, we highlight creativity in Petaluma and Sonoma County. We are a passionate bunch of over 500 members who create OUR arts center through volunteering, community donations, business networking, and collaborations.
Mission: PAC is dedicated to enriching lives through the power of art, community and education. We provide a hub and welcoming space for local exhibitions, events and classes that celebrate diverse artistic expression.

About Us
Where We Are Now: Thanks to the hard work of the Board and staff, PAC emerged from the pandemic stronger than ever. We’ve expanded our programming, added more open hours, revamped our website, grown our membership and board, and clarified our mission and goals. We launched a “Create Our Future” campaign to raise $300K in 2025 so we can expand our leadership, structure, and programming. We offer resources for creatives, art-lovers, youth, seniors, and underserved populations. We are a community arts center, so we serve our public.
Where We’re Going: We’ve already raised 25% of our fundraising goal, and are on track to reach 50% by the Fall. Our first objective is to hire an Executive Director and Program Manager. Additional goals include expanding programming and open hours, growing our donor base, creating new partnerships in the community, and building brand awareness. As our budget grows, we plan to hire more staff and build PAC into a recognizable hub of Petaluma’s creative community, a draw for tourism, and a valuable resource for all of our diverse populations.
