Cultural Futures 2023 Tour!

Cultural Futures is a free funding and policy workshop for cultural businesses and artists!

This May and June, you are invited to join your local partners for Cultural Futures! Cultural Futures is our annual post legislative tour where we visit communities across the state to let them know what happened during the legislative session so that you can be prepared for new funding and policy opportunities.

On the agenda:

New Policies - We will break down the wins and successes of the Legislative session including HB 1575 (providing councilmanic authority for the cultural access program) and how you may start the process of implementing a program in your community.
New Funding! Our sector received $2 million this year! We will tell you what you need to do to get ready to receive these funds.
Grant opportunities - USDA, community projects, and much more!
Listening. What do you need and what should we ask for? And, how do you get involved? It will take a broad coalition to secure future funding.
More information about our coalition. Do you want to be more involved in policy development and advocacy or learn about membership? We'll plug you into future activities so that your community is represented.
