Organization Summary
ARTSCCC (Arts Contra Costa County) is a coalition of cultural leaders whose top priority is an equitable and sustainable arts organization. We facilitate connections and collaborations to build strong communities. ARTSCCC manages projects, provides arts services, and advocates policy to support the creative community.
On February 6, 2024, the Board of Supervisors designated ARTSCCC, a fiscally-sponsored project of the nonprofit Independent Arts & Media, to serve as the county’s official local arts agency. For over twenty years, the nonprofit specializes in fiscal arts sponsorships that serve as a transformative “free speech platform” for independent voices and public-interest work. ARTSCCC and their fiscal sponsor, Independent Arts & Media, were officially recognized by the Board of Supervisors as Contra Costa County’s local arts agency and State-Local Partner.
