The Final Report on the Central Coast Creative Corps is Here
-
The Central Coast Creative Corps (CCCC) was a two-year pilot program funded by the California Arts Council, aiming to empower artists to collaborate with community organizations and address pressing social challenges.
-
The CCCC awarded $140,000 to 23 year-long projects throughout the Central Coast region. Each grant allocated $100,000 directly to an artist to work in partnership with community-based organizations, including nonprofits, government agencies, and tribal governments.
-
The program was collaboratively managed by the Central Coast Arts Coalition, a collective of six local arts agencies: Santa Barbara County Office of Arts and Culture (Lead Administering Organization), Arts Council for Monterey County, Arts Council Santa Cruz County, San Benito County Arts Council, San Luis Obispo County Arts Council, and Ventura County Arts Council.
