About Us
Housed in Turlock’s historic Carnegie Library building (built in 1916, renovated and expanded in 2011), The Carnegie Arts Center Foundation, Turlock, is a non-profit organization, presenting exhibitions, educational programs, and classes for the Central Valley audience. The CACF leases the building owned by the City of Turlock, operates independently, and is responsible for 100% of all costs to run and maintain the arts center.
