Modoc County Arts Council

Where Art Meets Community.

For over 40 years, the Modoc County Arts Council has championed the artists, programs, and creative spirit that make this community extraordinary.

Since 1981, MCAC has brought the gift of art to every corner of Modoc County — connecting neighbors, inspiring children, and opening doors to new cultures. The arts give our children tools to think boldly, weave the threads that hold a community together, and celebrate the spirit that makes Modoc County extraordinary.
