Creative West supports arts advocates and organizations by helping them build advocacy capacity and networks. Creative West offers resources, training, information, and tools to empower arts advocates to effectively champion arts-related issues at the local, state, and federal levels.
Arts and cultural advocacy involves supporting and promoting artists, culture bearers, arts organizations, and the creative community. This can include raising awareness, boosting appreciation, or securing funding for artistic and cultural practices. Advocates strive to ensure that arts, culture, and creativity remain a vibrant and essential part of society, recognizing their profound impact on a community’s culture, education, economy, and overall well-being. Creative West serves arts advocates in three key ways:
Creative West builds the capacity of arts advocates and arts advocacy organizations by providing training, research, and legislative data to help them engage effectively with policymakers. Our programs provide the knowledge and skills needed to champion arts-related issues. By offering these educational opportunities, Creative West works to ensure that advocates are well-prepared to engage with stakeholders, influence policy, and mobilize communities to support the creative sector.
Collaboration is key to amplifying advocacy efforts. In building these networks, we facilitate joint initiatives, shared resources, and increased visibility for important issues that Creative West supports.
Creative West is an active member of several coalitions that span the national arts service and creative economy sectors who work to advance federal arts and cultural policy. We support the work of the ウエスタンアートアドボカシーネットワーク, a coalition of statewide arts advocacy groups in the West.
Creative West also, on occasion, supports the development of local arts advocacy initiatives in the region such as the Greater Bay Area Arts and Cultural Advocacy Coalition. Through fostering community and collaboration, we help advocates build support systems and tap into shared expertise.
The right resources and tools are key to successful advocacy. Creative West offers helpful resources including research reports, policy briefs, and toolkits to guide advocacy strategies and actions. We also provide technical assistance to craft custom advocacy strategies in the region and provide financial support to arts advocacy work in the region.
