California spends three cents per person from the State’s General Fund for the California Arts Council, less than any other U.S. state or territory. How are cities and counties addressing this gap in the California arts infrastructure? What strategies for local public and private philanthropy are being developed? This Symposium, highlighting the experience of Santa Clara County, will explore the value of the arts for youth development, tourism, economic development and the quality of life in our communities.
Speakers include Larry Stone, Santa Clara County Assessor and a founder of Arts Council Silicon Valley; Bruce Davis, Executive Director of Arts Council Silicon Valley; Connie Martinez, Executive Director of 1stAct Silicon Valley; Kim Walesh, Assistant Director of the San Jose Office of Economic Development; Ruth Tunstall-Grant, Member of the San Jose Arts Commission and Director of the Art Education Program at Children’s Shelter of Santa Clara County; and Mark Walker, Managing Director, Global Community Affairs at Applied Materials. Alma Robinson, Executive Director of California Lawyers for the Arts, will moderate the panel.
This program will be taped by the Instructional Media division of the Santa Clara County Office of Education for local viewing and distribution to cable access stations statewide.
