Siskiyou County Arts Council

The Siskiyou County Arts Council was organized in 2016 as the designated arts council of Siskiyou and state-local partner to the California Arts Council. Our organizational priorities are to increase equity, particularly racial equity, in and through the arts; ensure the long-term vitality of the arts ecosystem by supporting self-organization strategies; and to foster individual creativity throughout life acknowledging art as a fundamental human need. We ensure constituents have equitable access to arts programming and opportunities by providing county-wide arts programming focusing on habitually underserved communities, pursuing strategic local arts initiatives that connect and highlight the arts ecosystem, coordinating emergency preparedness initiatives and mutual aid funds, and offering fiscal sponsorship for nascent arts organizations and projects.
