We Need You!
Help Us Advocate for Rescue Funds for Arts & Culture
There have been new and exciting developments in our advocacy efforts! Earlier this month, we shared a letter we crafted to the Ventura County Board of Supervisors advocating that a portion of our county’s federal American Rescue Plan funds be allocated for arts and culture.
We still need signatures for this letter! Are you an individual or organization who has been impacted by the pandemic, or who supports and stands with us in advocating for these funds? If so, please visit our website to read the letter and add your name, and to tell us how you have been impacted.
WE’RE STRONGER TOGETHER!
As part of our advocacy efforts, we have also begun conversations with several of the arts organizations and philanthropists in our region who have also embarked on a similar advocacy path. The time has come for increased communication and collaboration among arts organizations and individuals in our region, and we are excited to help lead the charge. Below are two new ways you can join in this effort:
A New Survey to
Quantify COVID’s Impact
Attend an
Information Session
If you are a Ventura County based arts and culture organization or artist, please complete the below surveys today. The purpose of is for us to be able to immediately answer specific questions for county staff and align funding efforts with federal agency guidelines.
