El Dorado County is now open for business—and pleasure. At last, with the arrival of June 15, establishments can open their doors without the restrictions that have been in place during the pandemic. The area famous for the 1848 discovery that sparked the California Gold Rush has a wealth of art and enteretainment offerings, and the resources below will help mine that cultural gold.

1. Arts and Culture El Dorado

Arts and Culture El Dorado is dedicated to all things cultural in this rural county and is a source of information on gallery exhibits, Poetry Out Loud, play readings, live music, and more.

2. Placerville Art Walk

Everybody’s doing the Placerville Art Walk on the third Saturday of every month. The galleries keep their doors open after hours for music, performing arts, and artists’ receptions.

3. Make Tahoe

Make Tahoe’s mission is to promote the creative culture and economy of the region—and “make Tahoe your destination for art.” Currently featured on the site are Tahoe Art League Gallery’s Spring Exhibit and the latest show at the Scott Forrest Fine Art Studio. 

Visit MakeTahoe.com or follow the group’s Facebook page.

4. Gold Country Artists Gallery

Placerville’s oldest gallery is owned and operated by more than 45 local artists, and you can most always find one or two of them on site eager to answer your questions about their work and inspiration.

A fun-filled list with plenty of music and wine festivals, plus Farm Days. Lots and lots of Farm Days.
