Opened in 2011, one of only a handful of professional galleries and museums in the Central Valley, the Carnegie Arts Center in the City of Turlock is an institution that is both local and regional in its perspective. It operates in keeping with its mission of bringing diverse community and regional audiences together to experience and celebrate art in all its forms. The Carnegie's programs include exhibitions, education classes and programs, lectures, and activities in artistic genres as diverse as dance, music, theatre and more.
