With support from the California Arts Council FRESNO ARTS COUNCIL INC (FAC) will engage with the local arts community in Fresno County to support growth and development through mentoring, technical assistance, and identifying grant and job opportunities. We will provide support for program development through individual planning sessions. FAC acts as a resource for the general public, developers, and public entities for issues and information related to Fresno’s vast arts ecosystem. We will continue to stage events such as ArtHop, Horizon Awards, and Arts Alive in Agriculture to ensure that Art in all its forms is fully represented in the region, and that local artists receive public attention. We will use CAC grant funds to specifically support staff positions.
