We are sorry to report the passing of local long-time Artist Bobbie Pilliard on Friday, May 22, 2020. Bobbie was born and raised in Loomis and was a 1964 graduate of Del Oro High School.
Her body of work and selfless support of the Arts in Placer County, and beyond, is very well known and respected.
We will miss her beautiful spirit, always present smile and zest for life. To know Bobbie was to love Bobbie.
The family has not announced plans for a service, but please watch our Facebook page for details if there is a public recognition:

Farewell -but not goodbye- from Trisa

Hello Art Community!
After much thoughtful consideration, I have decided it is time for me to leave my position at ACPC. I have loved my time helping to promote the arts in Placer County and working with all of the artists and our team in our wonderful community. I have truly enjoyed my roll as the Arts Engagement Producer. I am so proud of all that we accomplished together to promote the arts and bring art into the community.
At this time I am starting a new business venture and need to focus my time and energies there. Changing times have created a need for online support for the arts. In the current environment artists must rethink how they can reach potential clients. My talented friend, Gini Crepps, and I, are launching
Art Advocates
to help meet the needs of this new avenue of promoting art and artists within the community.
Art Advocates will help artists navigate a new option of connecting to their potential clients, and will offer a full range of services from creating Online Virtual Art Tours, Virtual Galleries, Social Media Support Packages, Graphic Design, and Website Design. Art Advocates will take the headache out of creating an online presence for artists.
Leaving Arts Council of Placer County is bittersweet as I am looking forward to my new adventure, but will also miss my role there. Please know that I will continue to support ACPC and its efforts of helping to serve the artists in our community. I look forward to further supporting artists through my new venture. Please check out our new website at
www.ArtAdvocates.net
and let us know if there is something we can do to help create an online presence for you.
Artfully,
Trisa Swerdlow

Ron Nabity and Patrick Storm are working with the Arts Council of Placer County to produce a video that takes a look at
local arts during this pandemic.
It will also be
a salute to the heroes
in our communities, the first responders and essential workers dedicated to keeping us safe.
We are
looking for ideas and content,
such as online performances, interviews, tributes, etc.

Thanks to all the artists, who helped artists with their purchases at the online Art Auction last month!
Congratulations to the following artists for successfully listing and selling their art:
Paul Harman, Gia McNutt, Dottie Visker, Connie Rodriguez, Terry Shearn, Patrick Witz, Gini Crepps and Barbara Ann Chestnutt.
The purchases supported local artists with 60% of proceeds going directly to their pockets. 35% is put in to an ACPC fund which to help arts organizations and programs hit hardest by the shelter in place period.
