California Arts Council
http://www.cac.ca.gov/
The California Arts Council works for a broad public understanding of, and appreciation for, the positive impact the arts play in enriching cultural, economic, and intellectual life in our communities and schools.
The California Arts Council is a state agency governed by an 11-member policy-setting council appointed by the Governor and the Legislature to advance the state through the arts and creativity. Council members and professional staff have experience and expertise in the arts, creative industries, education, community development, state and local government, and the nonprofit and for profit sectors.
The California Arts Council encourages widespread public participation in, and appreciation of, the arts and creative endeavors. The agency helps build strong arts organizations at the local and statewide level, directly supports arts programs for all citizens, assists with the professional development of arts leaders, supports arts education in schools in all areas of the state, and promotes awareness of the value of the arts. The California Arts Council does this by administering a number of competitive grant programs and special initiatives, collecting and disseminating information, and assisting organizations and individuals.
