2025 CA Arts & Culture Summit
The 3rd annual CA Arts & Culture Summit's theme is dedicated to the vital role of arts and culture in promoting health, healing, and hope within our communities. This summit is a confluence of artists, cultural workers, advocates, and policymakers all united by a shared vision to connect and relate, guiding us into a space of belonging in our community practices. We will delve into innovative policies and programs that embed these principles into advocacy work, recognizing artists as essential "second responders" who facilitate community wellness and recovery.
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.
