With support from the California Arts Council, Eastern Sierra Artists will ensure that C5 Studios Community Arts Center continues to be an inspirational home for creative practice and culture, bringing a vibrant, diverse contemporary arts experience to the region and providing a safe, welcoming space where all people are invited to explore and express their experiences and ideas. In a time of rapid expansion due to successful outreach programs, increasing numbers of local partnerships and projects in which we are dedicated to creating paid opportunities for local artists and creatives, this funding allows us to support this growth by tending the health of the organization behind the projects through fair payment of employees and other general organizational support.
Eastern Sierra Artists (formerly the Bishop Mural Society), believes that art has the ability to transcend traditional boundaries, reaching individuals from all walks of life. It is a powerful tool for dialogue, connection, and cultural appreciation.
Eastern Sierra Artists supports and connects artists throughout the Eastern Sierra region by funding and facilitating public art and events. Eastern Sierra Artists works with local artists, community members, and civic organizations to co-create public art projects to connect the public to our unique cultures and landscape; sponsors events in Downtown Bishop to build and support community; and is proud to support C5 Community Arts Center to bring artists together through shared studio spaces, gallery shows, and expansive arts education programming for children and adults.
