With support from the California Arts Council FRESNO ARTS COUNCIL INC (FAC) will engage with the local arts community in Fresno County to support and expand their growth and development through mentoring, technical assistance, identifying grant and job opportunities. We will also provide support for program development through individual planning sessions. FAC will act as a resource for the general public, developers, and public entities for issues and information related to Fresno’s vast arts ecosystem. While not a presenter, we will continue to stage events such as ArtHop, Fresno County State of the Arts/Horizon Awards and Arts Alive in Agriculture to ensure that Art in all its forms and local artists receive public attention. We will use CAC grant funds to specifically support staff positions.
