Tom Witt (1946–2025) was a painter, sculptor and conceptual artist who played an important role in Sacramento's experimental art community. After moving to the Sacramento area in the 1960s, he attended California State University, Sacramento, and developed a multidisciplinary practice encompassing painting, sculpture, earthworks and collaborative projects. His work explored the relationships between art, place and human experience, often extending beyond traditional gallery settings. Witt collaborated with artists including Robert Davis on Nine Phone Calls to the Future, an environmental artwork created near Placerville, California. A founding board member of Sacramento's Center for Contemporary Art, he also served on the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission and taught as visiting faculty at the University of California, Davis.
