The Folsom Arts and Cultural Committee (FACC) began in 1996 by a group of concerned citizens who felt that the expansion of arts and cultural activities would benefit the residents of Folsom. FACC is an advisory body comprised of seven members appointed by the Mayor and City Council. FACC meets at 6:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month in the City Council Chambers at the Folsom City Hall. The public is welcome to attend FACC meetings.

FACC projects include: the Arts and Cultural Survey, Arts and Cultural Excursions, Cultural Arts Grant Administration, Logo Contest, Sesquicentennial Mural Project, Sesquicentennial Gold Rush Camp Town Special Event, Arts And Cultural Master Plan, Art in the Mayor’s office, utility bill donations, and October is Arts and Humanities Month.

The Folsom Parks and Recreation Department provides staff assistance to FACC and you may reach FACC at (916) 355-7285.
