Nevada County Arts Council is thrilled to announce MUSE 2026—the definitive Guide to Local Arts & Culture. We’re excited to celebrate the release of this year’s issue with a Launch Party upstairs at The National on Friday, January 16, from 5–7pm, followed by a second celebration on Wednesday, February 4 at the Truckee Tahoe Airport.

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for being a member and supporting our organization. Through your support, we can publish this magazine each year—and invite you to attend the launch as our special guest. 

MUSE 2026 centers on the theme “living like a local”, spotlighting the artists, creative businesses, historic and cultural institutions, and favorite places that shape everyday life in the Grass Valley–Nevada City and Truckee Cultural Districts. 

Come dressed in your best and be among the first to grab a fresh-off-the-press copy of MUSE—we can’t wait to celebrate our local creative community and share this incredible free resource with locals and visitors.
