About EDH Arts & Entertainment Foundation

The El Dorado Hills Arts & Entertainment Foundation was created to strengthen community connection through creativity, local culture, and shared experiences. Its flagship project, The Atrium Gallery EDH, began in the most unexpected way: a blank lobby in Building 102 at El Dorado Hills Town Center. What started as a simple challenge to “find art for the walls” quickly evolved into a bigger vision—a space where community members, artists, families, and local businesses could come together. That vision took shape through a collaborative effort transforming an empty hallway into a full gallery program featuring rotating exhibitions, artist receptions, cultural celebrations, and business-supported installations. Today, the Atrium Gallery EDH stands as a vibrant creative hub that celebrates local talent and enriches the cultural life of Town Center.

The mission of the El Dorado Hills Arts & Entertainment Foundation extends far beyond gallery walls. The Foundation champions arts and culture throughout the region, supporting everything from public art projects to live community events, seasonal celebrations, and creative placemaking initiatives. This includes stewardship of the Saturday Town Center EDH Farmers Market, a beloved weekly gathering that highlights local growers, artisans, musicians, bakers and makers—an essential part of the agricultural and artistic heart of El Dorado Hills and the surrounding foothill communities. Through all its programs, the Foundation is committed to fostering creativity, uplifting local artists, strengthening small businesses, and building meaningful community experiences that reflect the spirit and character of El Dorado Hills.
