As your Arts Council of San Bernardino County, Arts Connection is grounded in one core belief: when people have access to the arts, communities grow stronger, more connected, and more vibrant.

In 2025, that belief thrived across the region. With your support, artists gained new opportunities, young people explored their creativity, families gathered in cultural spaces, and neighborhoods celebrated their stories through public art projects.

This year, together we:

Awarded 26 microgrants to local artists whose work reflects the heart and diversity of our county
Hosted the Inland Film Festival, uplifting local filmmakers and creative careers through workshops and master classes
Expanded after-school arts programs to support creative learning for youth
Strengthened our teaching artist workforce through training and professional development
Celebrated the ribbon cutting of Sole Alley, and held community events, classes, and workshops that built belonging and connection

Your Giving Tuesday gift helps us carry this momentum into 2026.

Every contribution supports:

Creative learning spaces for young people
Artist opportunities, training, and microgrants
Public art and cultural programming
Community events that remain accessible and rooted in belonging

Thank you for believing in this work. As your Arts Council, we are honored to grow, connect, and create alongside you.
