Nevada County Arts & Culture was selected to administer the California Arts Council’s Individual Artist Fellowship Program for the Upstate Region, responsible for distributing $240,000 in unrestricted grant funding across nineteen counties. Recognizing a larger scale need to harness rural voices in establishing a regional approach to collective policies and programming as a transformational tool, we work with peer agencies across the Region to ensure equitable access.

The Upstate Individual Artists Fellowship provides recognition to California artists at key moments in their careers, elevating their capacity for continued contributions to the field and our state. Fellows were awarded based on artists’ creative vision, aesthetic excellence, and community engagement and social impact.

Lets celebrate these artists and culture bearers from across Northern California that enrich our communities through their practice!

This month's theme is Rest, Recharge & Healthy Routines, encouraging simple daily habits that support both physical and mental well-being.

Slowing down, even briefly, can help you feel more balanced and present.

Take a moment and share it with someone who might need it too!

A wonderful piece by Pamela Biery on the benefits of our Cultural District designations and their impact.

Thank you Pamela for being such a strong supporter of the arts in our community!

Are you as happy as I am to see such a fine mix of locals and visitors on Broad Street in Nevada City and on Mill and Main in Grass
