California for the Arts is California's statewide arts advocacy organization.
About us
CA for the Arts is the only comprehensive, multidisciplinary organization focused on advancing and building public awareness of the value and impact of arts, culture and creativity across California. With over 15,000 active subscribers and hundreds of members representing thousands of artists and arts and cultural organizations, we take on opportunities and challenges that no single organization or artist can represent alone. Moved by our deep conviction of the civic and personal value of the arts, our mission at CA for the Arts is to ensure that the arts are accessible to all Californians; are an ongoing part of the public dialogue and to encourage Californians to care about the arts as a critical component of their own lives and the lives of their communities. We fight for arts resources and policies that benefit our members and all residents of California. Our work and support of civic engagement, arts education, cultural equity and the creative economy, positively impacts every community across the state.

Earlier this year, CA for the Arts staff members Jean and L.T. had the pleasure of attending Canva Create! 🎨✨ Hosted by Canva, the event was a whirlwind of innovation packed with over 50 speakers, inspiring sessions, and engaging workshops. At CA for the Arts, we're dedicated to supporting our team's professional and creative growth, and bringing new skills back to our organization. This event taught us so much about leveraging Canva for consistent branding, human-centered design principles, team building tools, and streamlining our workflows. As arts advocates, we know how important technology is in our daily work. Canva Create not only inspired our creativity but also connected us with fellow artists and provided insights into the current creative landscape in our digital world. We also had the opportunity to network with business innovators and creators, all while learning from incredible panels and speakers! We left feeling inspired and energized by Canva's potential. Can't wait for next year's event 🚀 #CanvaCreate #ArtsAdvocacy #CreativeCommunity #artworkisrealwork #caforthearts #creativeeconomy
