CA Arts Advocates 2025-26 Policy Priorities
Want to learn about this year's budget and legislation asks? CA Arts Advocates has got you covered with our 2025-26 Policy Priorities, which details our budget items and bills we are currently tracking.
In 2024, the California Arts Council budget took a significant hit and was cut by $5 million for two years, reducing its funding to just $21 million to serve the entire state. Assemblymember Chris Ward from San Diego, in his new role as chair of the Arts, Entertainment, Sports, and Tourism Committee, will request to restore that funding in the 2025-26 budget.
We’re making it easy to support the arts, by drawing attention to the letters that need writing, the petitions that need signing, and the social media posts that need sharing. The great news is that it’s easy to get involved.
