History
The Ventura county Arts Council (VCAC) was created in 1996 primarily to administer the State/Local Partnership program of the California Arts Council. In March 2000, VCAC embarked on a countywide cultural arts planning process designed to determine the current status and needs of arts organizations in Ventura County and to develop an overarching vision for VCAC to guide its next stage of development and service to the arts. The Countywide Cultural Arts Plan 2001 is the roadmap for the future of VCAC. It articulates the mission, values and priorities of the agency, and sets forth a plan for strengthening, supporting and enhancing the arts in Ventura County.
