The California Arts Council (CAC) will commemorate 50 Years of Creative Impact in 2026 through a coordinated statewide initiative designed to elevate the enduring value of public arts investment.


CA for the Arts is pleased to oversee production of the 50th Anniversary Awards Ceremony, a free event honoring distinguished artists, cultural leaders, and institutions whose work has shaped California’s cultural and civic identity for half a century. This awards ceremony will happen after the CA Arts & Culture Summit at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium.⁠ Please RSVP to register.

This event is made possible with the generous support of Creative West, as well as, current and former Council members, and friends of the California Arts Council.
