With support from the California Arts Council, ARTSCCC (Arts Contra Costa County) will secure general operations and staff for signature arts programs, technical and research assistance for artist and art organization databases, arts regranting program development, grant writing services, and arts advocacy engagement to promote equity.

ARTSCCC and its fiscal sponsor, the nonprofit Independent Arts & Media, were recently recognized by the Board of Supervisors as Contra Costa County’s local arts agency and State-Local Partner. Our mission is to foster communities through free expression and cross-cultural appreciation. Our grassroots work is built on compassion, joy, and respect to build a sustainable art organization.

Signature programs include a “Poetry Series Program” at Juvenile Hall, “Cultural Corridor Project” connecting communities, and “Danza de los Diablos de Santiago Juxtlahuaca (Dance of the Devils of Santiago Juxtlahuaca)” indigenous performance project.
