Each year the Arts and Business Council of Sacramento celebrates the companies, organizations and individuals who have made a meaningful contribution to support our region's arts and cultural assets. The Prelude luncheon draws 350-400 business and community leaders as well as arts professionals from the world of theatre, dance, music, literature, history and arts education......plus a few political guests as part of the mix. It is nearly impossible not to meet some interesting people!

"The arts are a vital part of any great city and Prelude is a wonderful place to celebrate the support that businesses give to the arts in our region! Prelude to the Season is a must see tribute to outstanding and well deserved award winners in the arts and business community.”
Council Member Rob Fong |

"The Arts & Business Council’s “Prelude to the Season” highlights the vibrancy and excitement the Arts brings to the Sacramento region. It’s always fun to see a glimpse of what the upcoming season will bring, and we always leave marking our calendars with the many “can’t miss” productions that we need to attend. At The Bee, we are proud to support the people and organizations that continue to provide our region with visual and performing arts that are imaginative, innovative, and inspiring.”
Cathy Rodriguez, Public Affairs Manager, Sacramento Bee |

"For 30 years, the community has supported Sports Leisure Vacations. We strongly believe in giving back, particularly to the cultural arts community. Being a sponsor for the Arts & Business Council not only insures our dollars go towards the arts, but we also receive some wonderful exposure to our target audience."
Mark Hoffman, CEO, Sports Leisure Vacations |

“By purchasing a table at the 2008 Prelude to the Season, I was able to honor friends and business acquaintances who have supported the local arts scene, as patrons, theater goers and artists. I consider this one of the region’s unique networking opportunities — a face-to-face version of LinkedIn (and much more nutritious).”
Ed Goldman, Goldman Communications |

2008 Program highlights included live performances by Motoshi, Forever Plaid, Michael Bayard, Theresa Keene and La Evolucion. We were thrilled to have emcee Kitty O’Neal of KFBK-1530, and a special presentation by California Arts Council's Muriel Johnson entitled "The Arts: Giving Business the Competitive Edge". Brian Crall of the Sacramento Comedy Spot introduced a fun sample of our newest program Improv for Business. As a last minute special treat, visual artist Jeremy Mayer exhibited a life sized female sculpture made entirely of vintage typewriter parts. Thank you to everyone who made Prelude a huge success!
