The Old Globe, Hattox Hall in the The Karen and Donald Cohn Education Center part of the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center, Balboa Park
Californians for the Arts partners with SDRACC (San Diego Arts and Culture Coalition) and The Old Globe to bring together organization leaders and artists to discuss the current state of the arts locally, provide background on how we got here, what the current situation is including a recent data report, and how through public policies and resources, philanthropy and innovative business models we can move forward to a more sustainable and equitable future. Highlights of the program include a presentation on a recent report by CVL Economics on the state of California nonprofit performing arts, the introduction of the CA Nonprofit Paymaster Program, recent legislative efforts including SB1116, the advocacy needed to build awareness, and a panel discussion with local leaders on new approaches and resources needed to sustain live nonprofit performing arts in California.

Arts, Culture & Creativity Month
April 2023
What is ACCM? In 2019, Arts, Culture and Creativity Month was declared by the California Senate in a concurrent resolution to be every April in California to recognize and celebrate the significant impact the arts have in California. Activations occur throughout the state including city and county proclamations, op-eds, special events, performances, round tables and more. The goal of our month-long campaign is to elevate public awareness of the value of the arts and the collective impact the arts bring to our communities and state.
SDRACC partners with advocacy groups across the state to unify our collective voice for the arts.
