REGULAR AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The San Benito County Arts Council is an entrepreneurial, nimble, collaborative nonprofit that provides arts programming and serves as a connector, investor, advocate, and leader for the arts in San Benito County. Founded in 2006, the Arts Council is anchored by a dynamic, energetic, and committed staff and Board of Directors supported by a growing number of people and organizations, including state and local government, school districts at the County Office of Education, and private and public foundations, individuals and businesses.
The San Benito County Arts Council has served as the State and Local Partner of the California Arts Council since 2006. The State and Local designation is something that San Benito County Arts Council seeks annually or biannually through the adoption of a resolution. Today's April 12, 2022, resolution designates the San Benito County Arts Council as the official State-Local Partner to the California Arts Council for the fiscal year 2022/2023.
Lastly, presented for Board consideration is a proclamation designating and declaring the month of April of 2022 as the "Arts, Culture and Creativity Month" in San Benito County. This annual month-long spotlight on the arts would raise visibility and awareness about the arts sector's value and empower art advocates to take action and spur more significant investments in the industry and workforce.
