With support from the California Arts Council, INYO COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS (ICA) will continue and expand vibrant community arts programming including: school arts and music programs that reaches all county students; the Millpond Music Festival, a 3-day annual music festival now in its’ 31st year; gallery space showcasing local artists; and outreach efforts that include a monthly e-newsletter with 3,000 subscribers. Funds will be used to cover operating costs including staff competitive wages and paying rapidly raising office rental costs.

ICA offers a wide variety of community programming and prioritizes offering this programming FREE when possible. ICA operates with a small but mighty team of three employees, only one of whom is full-time. California Arts Council funding is an essential and much appreciated funding source that helps to support all aspects of ICA’s work.
