Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Sacramento Office of Arts and Culture will invest in funding and capacity building in unincorporated areas of Sacramento. With a population of over 600,000, these unincorporated communities include some of the lowest quartile census tracts in Sacramento County and, historically, have not received the level of city and county funding support as the incorporated areas. This investment will provide much needed resources for cultural activities in these neighborhoods. Funds will also support implementation of Poetry Out Loud.
