As part of our Arts, Culture, & Creativity Month webinar series, Get Ready to Advocate will inspire and empower you to take action for the arts.

You’ll discover how state arts policies for 2026–27 affect your community, learn practical ways to make your voice heard, and gain the confidence to champion arts, culture, and creativity wherever you live. You’ll also get introduced to the Advocate’s Toolkit, a powerful resource designed to help you make a real impact in statewide arts advocacy.

This webinar will provide an overview of current policy priorities, advocacy strategies, and this year’s state budget and legislative requests. Participants will learn how to confidently engage with state legislators during Arts, Culture, and Creativity Month through legislative visits, phone calls, and written outreach.

CA Arts Advocates policy leaders will lead the session, offering guidance, answering questions, and preparing attendees to take meaningful action in support of state arts policies.

This webinar is designed for arts advocates, organizers, and community members who plan to participate in legislative visits or engage elected officials through calls or letters. Together, we will advocate for sustained investment in creativity to support the health, vitality, and well-being of California communities.
