Description: The Cultural Pathways program is rooted in the CAC’s commitment to serving the needs of an increasingly demographically complex California and the belief that a healthy arts ecosystem reflects contributions from all of California’s diverse populations. The purpose of the Cultural Pathways program is to strengthen the capacity of small, new, and emerging arts organizations that are rooted in communities of color, recent immigrant and refugee communities, and tribal or indigenous groups, and to anchor the cultural and creative work of these organizations into the cultural landscape of the state.
Award: Successful applicants will receive two years of general operating support up to $30,000. Successful applicants will also receive technical assistance and professional development tools, resources, and training.
