Arts Council Napa Valley

Arts Council Napa Valley supports a county of 136,000 people and 4.5 million annual visitors by working with the county’s arts organizations and artists to place art in public spaces, engage the community through local grantmaking, and ensure the county’s school districts provide arts education. It has recently completed a comprehensive strategic plan, with more focus on local artists, rather than the tourist industry, along with efforts to support an arts education master plan for the largest school district in the county. This renewal grant includes funds to plan and pilot a larger re-granting program, which could leverage additional funds from public and private funders. A three-year renewal grant at this level will have a significant impact on a county with few resources for individual artists and small arts organizations.
