The Capitol Region Creative Corps, supported by the California Arts Council and Governor Gavin Newsom, has selected twenty-six organizations from Solano, Yolo, El Dorado, Alpine, and Sacramento counties. Working in the intersection of Community Engagement and the Arts, these organizations are developing creative messaging using various art disciplines to reach underserved communities around the issues of Climate Change, Public Health, Social Justice, and the Electoral Process. Five of the twenty-six awardees received $300,000 in grants, and twenty-one received $117,000. Explore these projects and their impact at capitolcreatives.org.
