Instructors are professional artists with college degrees and exhibitions records.
The development of technical skills and the unique creativity of NCA's artists afford them a place in the competitive art world. In 1994, a Professional Artists class was developed in which artists learn to write their own artists statements, design their portfolios, assist in photographing their work, and as a group seek venues for their artwork. Pricing artwork is a collaborative effort between artist and staff, with the artist receiving the traditional commercial gallery percentage. The Neighborhood Center of the Arts is funded through the Alta California Regional Center, a member of the California School to Work Interagency Transition Partnership , United Way , the Nevada County Arts Council, arts sales and corporate and foundation grants. Some of these are corporate commissions, selections for Art in Public Places , gallery space in San Francisco's Ghiradelli Square , and a number of solo exhibitions outside the Center.
