Project Description
MarinArts is requesting $30,000 in General Operating funds to support our services that ensure all Marin County residents can discover, access, and participate in the arts. Currently connecting 365 arts organizations and reaching over 683,000 website sessions annually through our free online platform, this funding would allow MarinArts to reach additional artists and art enthusiasts from communities that have the least access to arts programming and services. These communities include Spanish-speakers, children from low-income families, people with disabilities, seniors, and members of the rural West Marin communities. This investment from CAC would allow MarinArts to expand our Online Arts Platform, Arts Alive! Community Event Series, and our Artes Latino Marin and Diverse Voices initiatives to additional communities. By doing so we will strengthen the arts, culture, and creative expression in Marin County.
