2025 Statewide Engagement Tour is coming to Santa Barbara, and you're invited to participate!

Building upon California’s first Creative Economy Strategic Plan, this town hall listening session will gather community insights and identify innovative practices within the Central Coast region to inform a comprehensive addendum to be submitted to the Governor’s Office and State Legislature in the Spring of 2026.

Our regional town hall for the 805 Counties will take place Wednesday, February 4, 2pm-5:30pm at the Community Arts Workshop in downtown Santa Barbara (food and coffee/tea will be provided).

This is a great opportunity to provide direct feedback and be a part of shaping the future of the creative economy in our region and the state.

To learn more and register for the town hall, please visit the Eventbrite page HERE. If you’re not able to make it in person, there will also be a virtual town hall the week before on Wednesday, January 28 6pm-7:30pm for the full Central Coast region. You can register for that event HERE. 

For questions or more information, please contact our CAC Regional Engagement Manager, Hannah Jacobson Blumenfeld (hannahjacobsonblumenfeld@gmail.com).
