The Sierra2 Center of Art & Community is a great place to host your dance class! It is very spacious and clean and what helps the most is an amazing staff that is willing to meet your needs. It is hard to find studio space that is affordable and near downtown. Sierra2 has created a safe environment for our children and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who understands that dance requires adequate space to fully tell a story. Thank you Sierra2 Center and staff! We look forward to hosting more classes and events at your venue!

I had my wedding reception here (a small, casual reception), and it was great. We arrived 15 minutes before our contracted time, and they let us in with no problem. All the tables and chairs were already set up for us. We ended up needing more tables, so my sister and I grabbed some from down the hallway, no problem.

I love this community center. It's close to my house. The Sierra 2 Theatre my daughters loves to watch shows here but also has performances (Runaway Stage Company) for adults and children. In the back is a awesome kids park and a dog auxiliary area for your four legged family member. All dogs and owners are very friendly just a overall welcoming vibe.

One of my favorite things about living in Curtis Park! Great event spaces, reasonable pricing, lovely structure, nice staff for booking. About to have my son's 4th birthday party in the Garden Room - had it there last year too and it was a perfect indoor/outdoor venue. It's not super-fancy but it feels just right.

Spaces for Weddings and Showers

Our rates are affordable, and we have great availability – our building is open 7 days a week.

Our Mission

Sierra 2 Center for the Arts & Community serves as a regional incubator of the arts, education, culture, and community activities. As the voice of the neighborhood, SCNA actively participates in preserving the heritage of and enhancing the quality of life in the Curtis Park neighborhood and throughout Sacramento by operating the Sierra 2 Center and the included Senior Activity Center. Read our Strategic Plan.

Sierra 2 Center

In the late 1970s, Curtis Park residents joined together to save Sierra School on 24th Street from demolition. The movement to save the school led to the formation of the Sierra Curtis Neighborhood Association (SCNA) in 1981. Today SCNA manages the transformed school building, now called the Sierra 2 Center for the Arts and Community, as a dynamic center for cultural and educational activities.

Advocacy and Stewardship

The Neighborhood Concerns Committee advocates on the neighborhood’s behalf in land use, transportation, and development projects before the City and the Planning Commission. NCC works with nearby neighborhood, business and community organizations to support and revitalize the Broadway and Franklin commercial corridors, protect trees, improve our local parks, and preserve the quality of life in Sacramento.
