All kinds of advocacy programs
Arts, Culture, & Creativity Month
April is Arts, Culture, & Creativity Month – a month of free events, resources, and advocacy opportunities across the state with the goal of engaging arts advocates and raising awareness of the impact of the arts within communities. From press conferences to group discussions, we shared talking points and resources for having effective meetings with your state representatives.
Regional Conversations
Regional Conversations bring together artists, arts organizations, creative workers, businesses, and supporters of arts and culture across the state. The purpose of these conversations is simple: to hear updates on legislation affecting the arts, learn about advocacy, and share what’s impacting arts and culture in each community.
Regional Advocacy Infrastructure Network
The Regional Advocacy Infrastructure Network (RAIN) seeks to reinforce advocacy capacity and efficacy at the local, state and federal levels by designing new models of collaboration with groups and organizations whose primary focus is at the local (county and municipal) level.
California Nonprofit Performing Arts Paymaster
Californians for the Arts, through the California Arts Council, has secured a state grant to build a nonprofit paymaster service for small theaters, symphonies, ballets, operas, chorales, dance companies, music organizations and other performing arts organizations throughout the state of California.
