Who We Are

San Diego ART Matters, formerly San Diego Regional Arts and Culture Coalition (SDRACC), is the voice of arts and culture supporters in San Diego. Founded in 1989 to advocate for stable funding by the City of San Diego, San Diego ART Matters has expanded to become the local partner of California Arts Advocates on state issues and Americans for the Arts on national issues. Artists, arts and culture organizations, arts funders, and patrons of the arts join San Diego ART Matters to add their voices to the chorus of support for government funding, sound policy, and an educated public to ensure San Diego benefits from a strong creative sector.
