Attention Arts Organizations!


Are you challenged to find resources to fund new work or just sustain operations?
 
Come to the Fresno Arts Council to discuss a county wide fund for the arts. We don’t yet know what it will look like, but we would like to hear from you and collectively develop a plan.
What we do know, is that we need to do something now, to be ready for a 2016 voters initiative.
 
Join us on Wednesday February 18th
@ 4p.m. at FAC 1245 Van Ness.
