CALIFORNIA ART MUSEUMS
NON-PROFIT ART ORGANIZATIONS & ART CENTERS

Guide to California art museums, art centers and non-profit art organizations. For the year 2020, we will be focusing more on these important art venues. Please consider joining us and supporting them whenever you can. The membership benefits are worth it, plus you will be contributing to important local and regional art resources. This guide provides you with links to as many art organization as we know about in the state. If you know of other art organizations that are not listed, please let us know.

The reopening of the United States is underway and we want you to know that Art-Collecting.com will continue to provide your community with art guides as we have for the past 22 years. We do this because galleries, museums, non-profit art organizations, and artists are important. We urge you to support them whenever possible. COVID-19 is still a dangerous threat, so practice safe distancing, wash your hands and take other protective measures so that we can continue to open our country safely.

NEW this month - we are looking for volunteers from YOUR art community; people who can be the eyes and ears for what's happening in your area. It's easy - choose a ART GALLERY GUIDE for your city/state, then let us know what should be added or removed. We want to provide informative and useful guides for your community and for visitor to it. Together, we can create even better and more accurate online art guides. VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

We sincerely hope that you, your family and friends will stay healthy during this time. Please take care of yourself, and think about how you might be inspired to help others. Be sure to call any art venues before attempting to visit them.


Non-profit art centers frequently provide exhibition space for new and cutting edge contemporary art as well as traditional fine art exhibitions. Besides visual arts, many art centers also provide facilities for music, performance art and other arts, as well as art education.
