Grant - California Arts Council's Creating Public Value Program (CPV) Due 2/18
The California Arts Council's Creating Public Value Program (CPV) is designed to promote a framework for thinking about the intrinsic and instrumental benefits of the arts; and to recognize that the resources artists, arts organizations, and others bring to a community play a key role in making a positive contribution to the individual and collective lives of all Californians.
Through CPV, the Arts Council will partner with small California arts organizations in rural and underserved communities to support new or expanded projects to highlight the fact that the arts are of benefit to all Californians and are worthy of state and federal investment. The Arts Council defines public value as making a positive contribution to the individual and collective lives of all Californians through the arts. In this context, CPV seeks proposals that address outcomes by utilizing the tools of the program identified as The Three Rs: Relationships (building new or expanding existing partnerships); Relevance (to audiences and community by expanding public participation); and Return on Investment (through public awareness, promoting your organization's public value and social/economic impact to civic and political leaders, community supporters, audiences, and participants).
