PUBLIC ARTS LEADERSHIP AWARD TO GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN
Americans for the Arts, the nation’s leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts and arts education, and The United States Conference of Mayors presented the 2016 Public Arts Leadership Awards at the mayors’ Winter Meeting on January 22, 2016. Governor Brown was chosen for this award for several important reasons. Last year he signed a $7.2 million permanent increase to the base funding of the California Arts Council, this after signing a previous year one-time increase of $5 million. In his most recent budget, he also signed-off on $2 million earmarked for an inter-agency agreement between the Arts Council and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to build on pilot programs begun in 2014 which now represent the most robust Arts in Corrections work in the nation.
