With support from the California Arts Council, the City of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs, with community partner Arts Alliance Davis, will work with a strategic communications specialist to harness the core strengths and assets of the Arts community to spread information and propel initiatives throughout Davis and the Sacramento and Bay Area regions; and to develop a plan for best practices using marketing and communications to collaboratively promote our local arts ecosystem.
The Arts & Cultural Affairs Program (ACA) designs and manages efforts targeting the cultural enrichment of the city; supports artists and arts providers in the community; encourages private support of arts and culture; increases public understanding and appreciation of cultural activities in all disciplines; manages guidelines for acquisition and long-term care of City-owned works of art; and administers the Arts and Cultural Affairs Fund to support our creative community. ACA also supports the Civic Arts Commission, which advises the City Council on matters relating to arts and culture in the community. Oversight of the Veterans Memorial Theatre, a 325-seat community theatre, is also included in the portfolio of programs managed through the ACA.
