Arts Organizations can apply now! Open to new applications!
 Applications are being solicited for The Arts Innovation Fund (AIF), a collaboration between the Sacramento Region Community Foundation and the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission to reward leadership in innovative strategies. In 2010, we awarded the AIF award to the Sacramento Ballet, the Sacramento Choral Society and Orchestra, and Capital Stage for their winning survival strategies. In 2011, we hope to award another three arts organizations and recognize their unique approach to fund development, marketing, board/donor engagement, or programming. Read more and apply online> |
Public Artwork Restored at Westlake Park
"Clowns" by Robert Charland restored to perfect condition
