Culture Forward

Shaping the future of arts, culture & creativity in Nevada County

Together We’re Creating Nevada County’s First Arts & Culture Action Plan

Cultivate. Connect. Innovate.

Nevada County Arts Council and our two California Cultural Districts are creating a countywide Arts and Culture Action Plan to shape the future of arts, culture and creativity throughout Nevada County, California.

Arts, culture, and creativity strengthens our lives, promotes civic engagement, encourages community problem-solving, and builds bridges across cultures.

Goals & Objectives

Our goal is to advance arts, culture, and creativity to benefit the people who live in, work in, and visit Nevada County.

Objectives

Strengthen the arts ecosystem of Nevada County by identifying and growing resources to support artists, creatives, culture bearers, and arts organizations.
Center arts and culture in the economic future of Nevada County.
Build upon our County’s history of innovation to create a thriving community for all residents and visitors.
Activate artists as solution partners to address our communities’ most pressing issues.
Lift the voices and culture of historically underserved communities.

Get Involved

The only way we can elevate the role of arts, culture, and creativity in Nevada County is through the active participation of everyone in our communities.
