April is Arts, Culture & Creativity Month in California
Arts, Culture & Creativity Month is a month-long, statewide effort organized by California for the Arts.
In 2019, Californians 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.
Our Goals
- Promote Fremont Creates as an annual April event throughout the City of Fremont, California.
- Provide an opportunity for the Community to explore the artistic culture in Fremont and for local artists to showcase their talents to the Community.
- Bring local artists and culture keepers together for a shared artistic experience, to exchange ideas and feature their expertise.
- Engage businesses and community partners to support Fremont Creates, acknowledging arts and culture are necessary for a vibrant and inclusive community.
