We are into the heart of the California State budget season and your advocacy is more important than ever. Now is the time to make your voices heard!

Our legislative champions, Sen. Rubio and Assm. Haney, have made the budget proposal to add $40 million to the state budget for an additional round of PAEPF funding and 4 other senators and 7 assemblymembers signed on in support. Now we need to make sure this is actually included in the budget proposal to the Governor.”

This year's keynote speaker is Julie Baker from CA for the Arts!

Julie has been the CEO of California's statewide arts advocacy organizations since late 2018. During her tenure, she has increased the legislative influence and visibility of arts and culture communities by building coalitions across for-profit and non-profit sectors of California's creative industries. She has championed a month-long arts awareness and advocacy campaign every April and fought for resources and legislation to serve and protect artists and cultural workers. Julie has served in various leadership roles, including California State Captain to Americans for the Arts' National Arts Action Summit, co-chair of the creative economy working group at the CA Economic Summit, and co-chair of the Western Arts Advocacy network for Creative West, where she is also a member of the Board of Trustees.
