The Miners Foundry Cultural Center is a living historic treasure serving Nevada County as a cultural arts and community events center.

More than a venue, the nonprofit’s mission is to preserve, enhance and utilize the historic Miners Foundry for cultural, educational and social activities in Nevada County.

It is a symbol of California’s rich historical heritage, providing an educational and social bridge from our past to the present and future.

Miners Foundry Manifesto

We believe history is important AND cool!

We believe you cannot forge a positive, bright future without paying homage and respect to the past.

We believe Cultural Centers create smarter kids, happier adults, and stronger economic and social communities.

We believe Art, Music, Theatre, and Dance matter.

We believe supporting other non-profits in our community is not only the right thing to do, the THE thing to do.

We believe your wedding should be one of the happiest days of your life.

We believe there is magic between our Stone Walls.

We believe we are in honorable competition with our ancestors to preserve and keep this great building intact to hand down to the next generation.
