OVERVIEW

The 2021 State Budget included $60 million one-time General Fund for the California Arts Council to implement the California Creative Corps Pilot Program, a media, outreach, and engagement campaign designed to increase: (1) public health awareness messages to stop the spread of COVID-19; (2) public awareness related to water and energy conservation, and emergency preparedness, relief, and recovery; (3) civic engagement, including election participation; and (4) social justice and community engagement. 

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The CAC will open competitive grants to provide economic support to artists, ambassadors, and cultural workers and serve all 58 counties in California. These grants will go to local, regional, and statewide arts organizations that demonstrate strong engagement with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities to regrant funds to local arts and social service organizations, and to individual artists. This support will provide as broad a geographic reach as possible while prioritizing communities that demonstrate the highest levels of need as indicated by the California Healthy Places Index.

Applications for regranting organizations open in early 2022.
