Coming Soon to Switchboard
In honor of National Youth Art Month, Arts and Culture El Dorado is exited to celebrate its second annual Youth Arts Exhibition, showcasing artworks created by El Dorado County youth, grades 9-12. In Spring of 2025, Union Mine students will take over Switchboard Gallery, curating a show of their own works. Each successive year we'll feature a different high school, focusing on the youth culture of each unique El Dorado County community.
