about us
American Canyon Arts Foundation
Formed in 1992, shortly after the City of American Canyon incorporated, the American Canyon Arts Foundation (ACAF) is one of the oldest community groups in American Canyon. A brief history of the Foundation in the early years can be found here.
We are a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization, and we produce or sponsor art-related events and activities, as well as participate in community events and programs.
Originally, we focused on Arts and Crafts Shows (notably, our Art Extravaganza), and musical programs (such as Jazz in the Park). In the mid-2010’s we added cultural arts programming (Juneteenth Celebration, Parol Festival and others), often supported with grants and sponsorships. In 2023, the City leased us space to host Art Classes, Programs and Meetings at the Mikolajcik Center, 300 Napa Junction Road.
ACAF is run by a Board of Directors, including both artists and community leaders. We are a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization, and we produce or sponsor art-related events and activities, as well as participate in community events and programs.
