Art for Everyone: How the Shasta County Arts Council Connects Community

July 17, 2025 • City of Redding • Season 5 • Episode 25

In this episode, Katie and Steve sit down with Nancy Hill, Director of the Shasta County Arts Council, to talk about how the arts show up in everyday life across Redding and Shasta County.

Even if you don’t consider yourself an “art person,” there’s something here for you: murals, music, downtown events, youth programs, and ways the Arts Council supports local artists and businesses.

You’ll hear how the arts bring people together, create opportunities for connection, and make Redding a more vibrant and welcoming place to live—whether you’re picking up a paintbrush or just enjoying what’s around you.

Listen in to learn:

What the Shasta County Arts Council really does
Why arts and culture matter for the whole community
Easy ways to get involved or support local arts, no matter your background

Find out how creativity is already woven into Redding’s story—and how you can be part of it.
