我们的愿景是建立一个文化和种族平等的加州.

In our increasingly fractured society, 我们相信ACTA将在为加利福尼亚塑造一个积极的未来中发挥关键作用,在这个未来中,每种文化的独特价值都将得到尊重, sustained, 和 appreciated. Through our programs, services, 和 funding opportunities for the traditional arts, we are weaving a more integrated, 只是, 和 empathetic social fabric across California. ACTA成立于1997年,是一家501(c)3非营利性组织,24年来一直担任该协会的会员 California Arts Council’s 为国家民间和传统艺术领域服务的官方合作伙伴.

加州是世界领先的创意和文化之都. 四分之一的加州人认为自己是第一代移民, 我们州处于全国向种族和民族多元化转变的最前沿. 加州的家庭和社区有着丰富的文化传统. 从奥隆编织到日本古筝音乐,从瓦哈卡面具制作到 queer voguing competitions,我们认识到加州广泛的文化实践是 social belonging, power, 和 只是ice.

 

20多年来,我们一直支持加州的活文化遗产.

ACTA是一个致力于支持文化从业者及其社区的全州和全国领导者. We travel up 和 down California from our offices 在弗雷斯诺、洛杉矶和旧金山,覆盖了加州的每一个角落. We work in partnership with communities, learning from their own articulation of assets, 需要, 和愿望,以制定响应方案和服务. ACTA旨在成为文化社区之间的桥梁, providing opportunities for exchange, collaboration, 和 connection to new resources. 

Since our founding in 1997 by cultural workers, arts administrators, 和 artists, we have distributed more than $7 million in grants to more than 1,660 artists 和 organizations throughout 50 counties in the 状态.

We believe traditional artists make resilient communities.

我们的合作艺术家是他们社区的传统承担者, contributing what they believe, 知道, do, 和 create with others who share a common heritage, language, religion, occupation, or region. 这些表达反映了一个社区对美的共同标准, values, life experiences, 和 collective wisdom. 我们认为,正是通过这些集体传统,从业人员可以动员起来,并成为促进 transformativerestorative value of arts in society.
