With support from the California Arts Council, Davis Arts Center will expand their capability to prioritize programs and plan for growth while keeping in mind impact and alignment with mission. Davis Arts Center will learn to use a matrix map to turn the business model into a dynamic visual that integrates the mission impact and financial viability. We plan on using this tool to prioritize projects and create a strategy for maintaining long term sustainability.
Davis Arts Center offers elementary visual arts curriculum, professional development for elementary school teachers, youth visual arts classes, nurturing art for children ages 0-5 and their caregivers, and summer camps. All our programs draw from our core values of:
Risk Taking: Encouraging experimentation and discovery. The best way to see if something works is to try it.
Pride: Confronting challenges brings confidence and fulfillment.
Connection: Inspiring exchange of ideas, respect for each other and building community that come from working together.
Joy: The meaningful inspirations and excitement of creating something.
