Strengthening arts, culture, and creative expression as the tools to cultivate a better California for all.

Reason for joining GCDN

As a statewide Arts Agency, the California Arts Council’s Cultural District program includes 14 distinct cultural districts across the state. Plans are currently underway to expand this program to include another 10 cultural districts. As a statewide arts agency, the CAC has a strong commitment to each of the state’s cultural districts to provide a suite of support services to help them achieve their unique goals. It is our hope that the Global Cultural Districts Network will serve that goal.
