The Antioch Arts and Cultural Foundation organizes classes in graphics, sculpture, ceramics, and performing arts for all ages. It also hosts Saturday summer concerts, the Delta Blues Festival, Holiday De Lights, and other community events.

The Rivertown Art Center is located in a bank building built in 1923. It is operated by the Antioch Arts and Cultural Foundation and was created to provide local artists with additional opportunities to showcase their art and teach art classes.

The Antioch Arts and Cultural Foundation has a 501(c)(3) nonprofit tax status. This is defined as: organizing for any of the following purposes: religious, educational, charitable, scientific, literary, public safety checks, promotion of national or international amateur athletic competition (provided that this does not include athletic facilities or equipment), or prevention of child or animal abuse.

The historic Lynn House townhouse along the Antioch River will soon be reopened as an art gallery and workshop.

The Antioch City Council unanimously approved a lease agreement with Jodi Mattison, owner of Lafayette Studio. The Antioch artist also teaches at the Walnut Creek Community Arts Center and in her private studio, Antioch Atelier. The city, which owns the building at 809 W. First St., previously leased it to the Antioch Arts and Cultural Foundation, which operated an art gallery there until 2017. Other organizations and entities have also used the space over the years, but it has remained empty since the gallery closed.

According to the lease, Mattison will use a portion of the two-story, 1,400-square-foot property for an art gallery and workshop. The late-1800s Victorian, one of the oldest buildings in the area, is next door to the historic Roswell Butler Hard House, which is still owned by the city and remains locked.

Under this initiative, Lynn House will host a rotating lineup of regional and guest musicians to showcase the talents of East Bay and California residents. According to a staff report, the rotating gallery will offer an introduction to arts educators and inspire continuing and prospective students.
