About Me

California Arts Advocates (CAA) is a nonprofit organization and was founded as a means of bringing together individuals, who believe in the importance and vitality of the arts in California, and to advocate for state funding and legislation that benefits arts and culture throughout the state.For more information, visit www.CaliforniaArtsAdvocates.org

My Interests

We are interested in working together to increase public funding and favorable legislation that supports all disciplines of the arts: Dance, theatre, music and literary arts. The arts invest in education, building cultural bridges, vitalizing communities, providing social services programs and bringing tourists to California.

I'd like to meet:

People who will work together to build public support for the arts and who will send a message to elected officials that the arts are of great value to 37 million California residents and millions of visitors who come to California every day. People who believe in arts for all, not for some.

Music:

Art. Ask for More. PSA #1
