Switchboard Gallery
Arts and Culture El Dorado's gallery has a new home and a new name – the Switchboard Gallery. We have moved our administrative offices and gallery to 525 Main Street.
The name Switchboard Gallery is an homage to the building's original purpose as the Pacific Telephone Company building.

The Sugar Skull Art Walk is a community project that engages local artist-designers in creating Day of the Dead “ofrendas” on Main Street. The goal of this project is to help unify communities through art, music, and the shared human experience of loss. The ofrendas are now on view in Switchboard Gallery from October 14 to November 10, 2024.
In January 2025, Arts and Culture El Dorado will be collaborating with Placerville Arts Association to bring you a member show featuring some of El Dorado County's finest artists from around the region. The exhibition will feature 35 to 50 pieces in a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, and mixed media.
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.
