About

Overview

The SCG ART program brings established artists to Placer County for the purpose of teaching and sharing their artistic talents and experience to the greater community. The program was lovingly established at PCF in memory of a local artist, Susan Cooley Gilliom, by her family. This residency offers a large studio space, funding for projects, and the opportunity to teach workshops in a formal setting, along with the ability to exhibit work in the studio space and offer pieces for sale throughout the duration of the residency.
