Elk Grove Artists (EGA) is a philanthropic organization of member artists from in and around the Elk Grove, California area. We are united in the common cause of showcasing the quality of fine art in the Elk Grove area as well as sponsoring the Art of Excellence show during the Annual Elk Grove Western Festival. We also sponsor a scholarship program for Elk Grove Unified High School students pursuing the study in the field of arts. EGA membership is open to all who would like to be involved in the arts, and those who would promote youth art functions. Elk Grove Artists endeavors to encourage art in the community by sponsoring shows that are set up for artists to promote and sell their work. We are a 501(c)3 tax deductible organization.
Elk Grove Artists, Inc. received the Arts Advocate of the Year Inaugural Award for dedication to raising public awareness and appreciation of the visual arts by consistently staging an arts presence, exhibits and demonstrations at community-wide events, organizing art exhibits and competitions, and hosting arts workshops.
Elk Grove Artists meet the fourth Wednesday of every month (except for November and December—please see Program Schedule) at 5:30 p.m. at the Carlton Plaza Arts and Craft Room. This is located at 6915 Elk Grove Boulevard just west of the NUGGET GROCERY STORE. Professional artists/speakers perform demonstrations and discuss their artwork at each meeting, and/or workshops are held. The public is welcome to attend—the first meeting is free to non-members.
