Send a Letter to Your Reps

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. Send a message to the Governor and your legislators about the importance of public funding for the arts and to urge them to support restoring the $5 million to the CAC.
