Center for Cultural Innovation

The Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) was launched in 2001 to promote knowledge sharing, networking and financial independence for individual artists and creative entrepreneurs by providing business training, grants and loans, and incubating innovative projects that create new program knowledge, tools and practices for artists in the field.

In the spring of 2007, CCI opened an office in San Francisco, marking the transition from Los Angeles based programming to statewide services. CCI provides a range of programs designed to serve the needs of individual artists, including a statewide grants program called Investing in Artists. The next deadline is June 6, 2008 for artists seeking to acquire the equipment and tools that will sustain their long-term ability to make work. More information about CCI and the Investing in Artists program can be found at www.cciarts.org
