Fremont Creates
Join us for a month-long, city-wide celebration of
the arts, culture, and creativity
Arts, Culture & Creativity Month is a month-long, statewide effort organized by California for the Arts.
In 2019, California for the Arts (CFTA) successfully campaigned for the state to recognize and celebrate the arts by declaring April as Arts, Culture & Creativity Month (ACCM) through a concurrent resolution passed in the California Senate. In 2021, an additional resolution was declared to recognize artists as second responders.
CFTA directs this annual month-long spotlight on the arts to raise visibility and awareness about the value of the arts sector, to empower arts advocates to take action, and to spur greater investments in the arts industry and workforce.
Who We Are
City Council Proclamation
Fremont Creates and the Fremont Cultural Arts Council were recognized at the April 1, 2025 City Council meeting.
Grand Finale Event
Thanks to everyone who joined us on Sunday, April 27, 2025 at the Fremont Downtown Event Center!
Something for Everyone
Our April 2026 calendar will be jam-packed with activities and events in many areas of the arts, from visual arts to performances!
What is Yarnbombing?
Yarnbombing is a colorful and playful form of street art that covers public objects – trees, benches, railings, etc with knitted or crocheted yarn pieces. Our goal is to create community yarnbombing, so each covered object is made up of multiple smaller crocheted or knitted squares, rectangles , circles, etc., attached to create a fun, colorful, and funky art display.
There will be two Yarnbombing installations, beginning on April 2, 2026:
At the corner of Civic Center Drive and BART Way.
A tree in front of the Fremont Main Library at 2400 Stevenson Boulevard.
Ribbon Cutting
Join us for the Ribbon Cutting ceremony with Mayor Salwan, Washington Health CEO Kimberly Hartz, and other dignitaries, on Friday, April 3, 10 am, at the corner of Civic Center Drive and BART Way.
