CALIFORNIA IMAGINATION

California Imagination, a public-service announcement from the California Arts Council, is a collaborative effort between the California Arts Council, California artist Jillian Kogan, a dozen creative professionals in California, and approximately 250 arts organizations and artists throughout California.

“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.”
