CALIFORNIA IMAGINATION

This year’s image for the California Arts Day poster and other materials is from the California Imagination project, a collaboration between the California Arts Council, assemblage artist Jillian Kogan, and hundreds of artists and arts organizations throughout California. The temporary installation was memorialized in a stop-motion, photography-animated public-service announcement earlier this year. Take a look!

“Our artists do some amazing things, and each one of these objects tells a story about the arts in California,” said Muriel Johnson, Director of the California Arts Council. “The California Arts Council is thrilled we’re able to show them off through the California Imagination project.”

Arts License Plate PSA

Funds from sales and renewals of the California Arts License Plate provide for 60% of the California Arts Council budget, which the agency uses to fund grants and initiatives in California local communities.
