The future we want to create starts now.
Californians for the Arts (CFTA) and California Arts Advocates (CAA) are two separate organizations that share a small but mighty team and a vision. With the support of our members and partners, we work to fortify and empower the cultural sector and end the era of the starving artist. In the last five years we have seen historic legislation and unprecedented funding for the arts, culture and creative industries and workforce here in California. We have seen a narrative shift in the perception of careers in the arts as legitimate work, the creative industries as critical to California’s economy, and the essential role artists play in responding to civic issues and infrastructural innovation. In order to sustain this work, build the necessary coalitions and keep our programs free and accessible to all, we need members like you. Support CFTA or CAA through membership today.
Arts & Culture Workers Unite!
Join CFTA or CAA to ensure support for your life’s work!
Because of member support, in the face of a creative sector economic crisis and with a critical need for arts advocacy, we saw tremendous growth in our programs, in advocacy participation, and in securing historic policy wins in 2023. Let’s keep the momentum going! We have set a goal to raise $10,000 to help fuel lobbying efforts, develop policy solutions and keep mobilizing the field in what is likely to be a tough budget year for the state of California.
Advocacy wins are never due to one campaign or one organization and the systems change we need will require ongoing coalition and movement-building. With your membership, CAA will sustain continual discussion and action in state and federal government and CFTA will transform advocacy into a movement of empowered advocates across California.
