Project Description

Moved by our deep conviction of the civic and personal value of the arts, our mission at Californians for the Arts is to ensure that the arts are accessible to all Californians, are an ongoing part of the public dialogue, and to encourage Californians to care about the arts as a critical component of their own lives and communities. We fight for arts resources and policies that benefit our members and all residents of California. Our work and support of civic engagement, arts education, the creative economy, and racial and cultural equity positively impacts every community across the state. Californians for the Arts is the only comprehensive multidisciplinary organization focused on advancing and building public awareness of the value and impact of arts, culture and creativity. With over 25,000 active subscribers and hundreds of members representing arts administrators, practicing artists, arts educators, culture bearers, government officials, researchers, non-profit workers, and arts funders, we take on opportunities and challenges that no single organization or artist can represent alone.

Asserting that the arts are essential to a prosperous and just society, CFTA extends its impact across the state by acting as a network of networks with our board members, members, and partners serving as a key conduit for broadening the reach of our work. We believe access to the arts is a human right. As an organization, Californians for the Arts seeks to support policies that position the arts to address the inequities that have led to a chronic state of injustice and oppression. We will work to ensure that resources are directed to actions to offset years of economic, social, and cultural disparity in our state and in our country by addressing systemic racism in the arts. These values are built into every aspect of our work.
