California Arts and Culture Summit

Join Californians for the Arts and Create California for the inaugural California Arts and Culture Summit. The Summit will take place during California’s Fifth Annual Arts, Culture and Creativity Month.

The Summit will unite arts and civic leaders for two days of events filled with knowledge-sharing, coalition building, and movement visioning. Participants will get a deep dive into recent statewide advocacy wins for the arts such as Prop 28, CA Creative Corps, Cultural Districts, CA Creative Workforce Act, and more. They will also examine policy solutions for centering and supporting artists and cultural workers and developing cultural policy to support pathways to creative careers. The Summit will bring together arts advocates, cultural policy thought leaders, public and private arts funders, artists, creatives, educators, culture bearers, teaching artists, students, public officials and creative industry representatives from across the state to build the movement to prioritize arts, culture and creativity as key drivers for California’s economic health and community vitality.

This event also includes an afterparty, Party for the Arts!
