CREATIVE ARTIST RESOURCE
Sacramento’s story is rich with history, innovation, and creativity, and our arts and creative community is at the heart of it all.
Sacramento365 launched the Creative Artist Resource, a joint project of Visit Sacramento and the Office of Arts and Culture, that is designed to help users find regional creatives, highlight grant and artist opportunities, and search for arts venues available for rent.
This new resource came to be after conversations during one-on-one and Creative Economy meetings, collecting online feedback, looking into what other cities were doing, and aligning our efforts with initiatives outlined in the City of Sacramento’s Creative Edge plan.
