April is Arts, Culture, & Creativity Month!

Our friends over at @caforthearts are leading the way with a month of free events, resources, and advocacy opportunities across the state. The goal of engaging arts advocates and raising awareness of the impact of the arts within communities is at the heart of the work we do here at Nevada County Arts Council.

What is Arts, Culture, & Creativity Month?

In 2019, CA for the Arts successfully campaigned for the state to recognize and celebrate the arts by declaring April as Arts, Culture, & Creativity Month (ACCM) through a concurrent resolution passed in the California Senate. In 2021, an additional resolution was declared to recognize artists as second responders.

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.

It is also Arts, Culture, & Creativity month by proclamation of the County of Nevada, and the cities of Grass Valley and Nevada City. We will be at both City Hall meetings next week as Nevada City and Grass Valley reaffirm the annual proclamation - April is Arts, Culture & Creativity Month!

Tuesday, April 8, 6:00pm - Grass Valley City Council by official proclamation announces April as Arts, Culture, & Creativity Month.

Wednesday, April 9, 6:30pm - Nevada City City Council by official proclamation announces April as Arts, Culture, & Creativity Month.
