City brings in $300K grant for arts, culture

Special to The Enterprise

The city of Davis announced that the Arts and Cultural Affairs program is the recipient of a $300,000 grant from the California Arts Council’s California Creative Corps program, administered through the Sacramento Office of Arts and Culture. The grant will focus on supporting the community engagement component of the Hate-Free Together campaign.

The 2021 State Budget included a $60 million one-time allocation for the California Arts Council to implement a threeyear pilot program called the California Creative Corps. The Creative Corps program hopes to demonstrate how artists from varying disciplines can be instrumental in the development and implementation of critical campaigns that help to address pressing issues in the community. Applicants of the grant were evaluated on criteria such as diversity, equity, inclusion and access, program design, community impact and organizational readiness.
