We are an exciting and ever growing center for the arts in Southern California, unlike any other.Whether you decide to join as an active artist member, or supporter, we need you. There promises to be an exciting array of activities, events, workshops and classes where members receive either free or reduced fees.. Membership offers the following:
Knowing that you are a part of the dramatic role the arts play in a community's cultural and economic ecosystems. By supporting the nonprofit arts sector, you are supporting an important economic component: in the rural communities, art venues are essential elements in downtown revitalization, generating an impact (statewide) of $120 million annually. In the larger cities, the arts make an important contribution to urban renewal and development. A statewide survey showed that Californians believe arts contributions to individual health and enrichment is even greater than the role of the arts in the economy...the survey respondents ranked arts impact on quality-of-life in their communities as most important. It is widely known that the arts help build vibrant and healthy communities. SCIART's contributions include helping create a place where people want to live and work...a balanced community that people are proud to call home. Supporting the arts is supporting cultural awareness and understanding, preserving the cultural heritage and making art accessible to all. A corporation providing funding and resources to SCIART could be proud of helping us build capacity, and with assistance from other funders, they would be patrons of the arts for their community. The monies could be used to: - Recognize and encourage non-professional, volunteer activities. -Support cultural activities which reflect the diversity of Ventura County -Stimulate local support, particularly at the grassroots level. -Sustain the professional development of SCIART. -Promote artistic and business excellence.
