Advocacy and Outreach

The Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County advocates for the arts in a number of ways, including working with local, regional, state and national agencies and organizations.

Partner groups include the California Arts Council, California Arts Advocates, Americans for the Arts, Poetry Out Loud, The Art of Health & Healing and the California Summer School for the Arts.

Our commissioners are our eyes and ears to the County's diverse neighborhoods and communities; liaisons to artists, and arts and cultural groups and organizations. The Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County actively supports these efforts, and is always seeking opportunities and partnerships.
