Resources to support Black artists with art advocacy at the regional, state, and national level
California Arts Advocates is California's lobbying voice for the arts working to increase California’s investment in the arts, make creativity an integral part of our economy, and give artists in California a voice in Sacramento.
from https://aep6.americansforthearts.org/
AEP6 is the sixth economic impact study of the nonprofit arts and culture industry in the U.S. This study is conducted approximately every five years to gauge the economic impact (on employment, government revenue, and household income) of spending by nonprofit arts and culture organizations and the event-related spending by their audiences. Previous studies were published in 1994, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017. (Due to the unique nature of the realities of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the AEP6 study was postponed for 16 months.)
As the economy, industries, and climate shifts, we (Black Artists) can’t be left behind.
We Prosper Together is bridging together eight counties surrounding California’s capital to build a stronger regional economy. Building on the California Jobs First program, we are working to uplift our communities, encourage investment in the region, and create living wage jobs. Black Artist Foundry is partnering with Valley Vision, Civic Thread, Civic Well, Sacramento Asian Chamber & Cal Asian Chamber, Everyday Impact Consulting, and Building Healthy Communities, to elevate diverse voices, amplify local solutions, and aim to create living-wage jobs for a thriving future in the Sacramento & Yolo Region.
This is our opportunity to approach economic development inclusively. To reimagine our economy and workforce, it’s up to us to come together, elevate voices, and take action.
