Welcome to the Arts in the California Governor’s Race project


**Arts in the California Governor’s Race final report released**


The Arts in the California Governor’s Race project is a non-partisan effort created to ensure that issues related to the arts and the creative economy are suc- cessfully inserted into the California governor’s race.

Organized by a consortium of non-profit arts organ- izations, arts support groups, artists, and concerned individual supporters of the arts, the consortium parti- cipants believe strongly in the need for meaningful public support for the arts and arts education.

The Arts in the California Governor’s Race project is building a statewide army of citizen activists who will help send the message to the gubernatorial candidates that the arts are important to California’s future, and urge the candidates to support arts-friendly public policies that:

  • Increase public funding for nonprofit arts organ- izations in order to better serve their communities
  • Ensure that every child has the opportunity for a comprehensive, high quality arts education in grades K-12
  • Nurture an environment to allow individuals and families affordable access to all forms of the arts
