Creating opportunities for student success

The new art building, paired with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in fine arts, positions Sacramento State as Northern California’s destination for an accredited and equitable arts education.

With the new building comes tremendous equipment needs. That is where you come in. The extent to which students can pursue their creative abilities and make an impact is reliant upon the tools we can provide them now. Each of us has something to contribute. Together, we can make a difference in arts education.

Consider one of many naming opportunities or give now.
