The Sierra County Arts Council is pleased to announce that we have recently become the owners of the historic Native Daughter’s Hall at 318 Commercial Street in Downieville. We were excited to be host first event, the Mad Hatter Tea, this April with the help of former Native Daughter’s of the Golden West. We look forward to maintaining this beautiful building for local cultural events.

Downieville Dance Floor is installed!
We were pleased to raise more than $1,800 with the Gofundme campaign for the new Downieville Dance Floor. We expect to be having Kathy Fischer’s Downieville Dance Classes begin soon. We are also planning a bi-lingual family Music Together Class in partnership with Sierra First Five. Thank you to everyone who contributed. Thank you to the former Native Daughters of the Golden West who donated the building and also funding for our improvements. We think Bob’s Discount Carpet did a great job on the floor. We would also like to thank Grays Electric who upgraded our electrical including new light fixtures in the main hall and library. Thank you to Kim Hemstock who repaired the beautiful slate walkway and to Nigel Pearmund for fixing plumbing in the Downieville Library. We will be hosting the Ice Cream Social on August 12 and invite everyone to come enjoy the history and the ice cream in this lovely setting.
