In the late 1930's a group of ten local artists calling themselves the Ten Arts Club, met with an intention of establishing an art organization in Sacramento for local artists and laymen. We were founded in 1939 and became Northern California Arts. Meetings were held at a local restaurant called Ray's.The Governor's Office in the State Capitol was made available to our organization for exhibit purposes. During World War II, the artist members of NCA joined the Volunteer Artists for Victory, assisting with their talents the Sacramento Civilian Defense, the U.S.O., the bond drives and contributed hundreds of paintings, sketches, etchings and art works to the local air bases and army installations.Shows were held in the new building of the Sacramento Union Newspaper. Dr. Joan Born was on the festival committee, and after one of the NCA meetings, she proposed to start the Camellia Festival.NCA joined with the McKinley Garden and Art Center and met there through 1985. A board member from four art clubs (WASH, NCA, CAL, LCA) met and started looking for a place to establish an art center. La Sierra High School was closing at that time and the Carmichael Park District had planned to purchase the site. The club's board members were able to acquire the back part of the school, the auto shop. Then the work began, removing all the items in the rooms, and remodeling the area. Every bit of the back-breaking work has been accomplished by volunteers and through donations.
