CCAS functions as more than a contemporary art center, hosting special events, such as the Annual Benefit Art Auction, CAST (Capital Artists' Studio Tour), monthly lectures and workshops for art students. In addition to the longtime support of the public, artistic community and corporate sponsors, CCAS has a strong and dedicated board of directors. CCAS is the frequent focus of newspaper and magazine articles published in Artweek magazine, Midtown Monthly, The Sacramento Bee, Sacramento Magazine, and the Sacramento News and Review. A review of artist Christopher Brown’s exhibition at CCAS appeared in the November 2005 issue of Artweek magazine. CCAS is committed to serving the Sacramento community for the long term. CCAS was founded in downtown Sacramento on 15th Street in 1989, and subsequently relocated to Del Paso Boulevard. With great assistance from the building's owner, Steven Moore of Rex Moore Electrical Contractors & Engineers, CCAS opened at its current location in midtown Sacramento on August 6, 2005.
