Inspired by the Federal Government’s WPA response that put artists to work following the Great Depression a century ago, the California Arts Council created the California Creative Corps (CCC) in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. While collectively we may have moved on from the shock of 2020, the importance of public health, climate health, civic engagement and participation is evergreen. The CCC grant positions artists and culture bearers as uniquely situated to engage meaningfully and boldly with four program goals in public spaces and community life; to speak powerfully to intersectional public interest goals across traditional lines of divide.
