This year’s ACCM programming and activations are shaped by the theme "Health, Healing, Hope," will explore the vital intersection of arts with community wellness and recovery while also emphasizing that Art Work is Real Work – building on our successful advocacy for artists as essential workers in our communities. “Art Work is Real Work.” Artists play an essential role in our daily lives with critical contributions across a variety of impact areas including health, education, housing, climate, youth development, and the economy. Help us amplify the message that artists and creatives are essential to California's well-being and economic prosperity.

Download our resources, amplify our social media campaigns, and sign up for advocacy opportunities across the state with the goal of raising awareness of the need to invest in creative workers and creative solutions. From the CA Arts & Culture Summit and Advocacy Day to press conferences, online conversations, and legislative meetings, we invite you to engage with us all month long!
