Overview
Silicon Valley Creates is the largest nonprofit arts council in California, providing a comprehensive suite of funding, technical assistance, and marketing services to more than 600 local arts and cultural organizations, and individual artists throughout Santa Clara County. The organization has been through a multi-year period of leadership and programmatic transition, and is implementing plans to develop a larger arts funding pool, provide relevant services to local artists and arts organizations, and connect the community to Santa Clara County’s arts and culture offerings. Its Artist Laureates program, which provides cash prizes to a select group of local artists each year, will turn 25 years old in 2015. This grant will provide support for development of a searchable, interactive artist database and website that includes each of the 152 Artist Laureates, a resource that will grow each year as more awards are given.
