"OCSA was a great place for me to be immersed in music and art during my high school years. One of the unique and formative experiences at OCSA was getting to perform works by living composers, which I have continued to do since moving to New York—and plan to keep doing as part of my musical life."

"I wouldn’t be where I am today without the amazing public arts education I received at OCSA. The training this school provides is incomparable. My OCSA experience was the cornerstone of my professional career."

“At first glance, it may seem that medicine is the furthest thing possible from the theatre. I would argue that OCSA was the best training that I ever received… The ability to embrace diversity, to work as a team and to learn empathy cannot be taught … But it can be further developed. That is the gift that OCSA gave me … I will forever cherish it.”

“OCSA taught me a lot of what I know. I don’t think I would be where I am if it wasn’t for this school. Being in class every day and working that muscle over and over really helped give me the confidence I needed to go out and work.”

Santa Ana College operates two premier art galleries: the main campus gallery located at 1530 W. 17th Street, established in the early 1970's, and the SAC Arts Gallery at the Santora Building which has been the satellite gallery since 1996. The SAC Arts Gallery in the Santora Building is located at 207 N. Broadway, Suite Q. Both galleries have been a strong presence in the community and valued partners in the Artists Village in Downtown Santa Ana. The galleries' programming includes four exhibitions per year in the campus Main Gallery and six exhibitions per year in the Downtown Artists Village.


A second storefront gallery space in the Santora Building (facing Broadway on the street level at 205 N. Broadway) also serves as an exhibition space for additional college gallery programs.

The gallery program provides students and visitors with world class art shows of prominent national and international artists, to encourage participation and discussion in the art viewing community at large and to further enrich the cultural landscape of Santa Ana. The Main Campus Art Gallery has state-of-the-art lighting and wall systems.

One of the highlights of the year at SAC's Santora gallery is the High School Invitational which showcases the best art from the surrounding high schools. The art gallery has built partnerships with businesses and community organizations by way of establishing scholarships and grants for our students. The Art Gallery has been the recipient of numerous community outreach and professional awards and grants.

4worldlovers: The California Center for Digital Arts is located in the historic Santora Arts Building in the heart of the Santa Ana Arts District in Santa Ana, California.

In the ’90s, studio artists began renting space in the building bringing with them the enthusiasm and energy of the arts. Today, the Santora, with its plethora of galleries and artist studios, sits in the midst of the Santa Ana Artist District and the annual Santa Ana Artist Village Art Walk. Our facility includes multiple classrooms, professional photography studios, and creative workspaces for working photographers.
