Arts Council Silicon Valley continues to stay a step ahead of the curve by keeping tabs on activities on the local, regional and national arts scene.

Arts & Economic Prosperity II
Arts Council Silicon Valley joined forces with the County of Santa Clara and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, which is providing the funding, to make Santa Clara County one of only 165 participants in Arts and Economic Prosperity III, a national study to assess the economic impact of spending by the nation's nonprofit arts organizations and the event-related spending of their audiences during 2006. Learn more about the $166.5 million in total economic impact the arts provide locally by clicking here.

Art. Ask for More
Art. Ask for More is a multi-year, national public service advertising campaign to promote the need for more arts education opportunities for children. The goal of this campaign is to arm parents with the guidance and tools to become more effective advocates in making arts education opportunities available to children both in their schools and in their communities.

We view this campaign as an opportunity to inspire creativity among our youth through increased arts experiences and education. If you would like electronic versions of the print ads, television ads, radio ads, web banners, or billboards, please check back regularly for updates.
