Making the Arts Matter
The California Arts Council has long been a CIBA supporter and we are grateful for the financial assistance we have received
over the years. In the list of CIBA funders for the past year (see page 2), CAC appears a whopping three times, providing
support through the Organizational Support Program, Infrastructure Support Program and Traditional Folk Arts Program.
Now it's our turn to help the California Arts Council.
hen you consider all the things that contribute to
the essential “California experience,” a major element in the equation is the state’s vibrant arts and culture
scene. Whether a major cultural festival, a small poetry
gathering, or a single artist working with fourth graders
in a local school, the arts contribute to the health of our
state in many ways: arts education for children, economic vitality through jobs, commerce, and cultural
tourism, and a visible demonstration of cultural diversity and civic pride.
But now, with drastic and draconian cuts by the
Legislature to the California Arts
Council (CAC), the agency that
funds excellence in arts, culture,
and creativity, the California
dream is severely threatened for
the state’s 35 million residents.
The agency’s budget was slashed
by 94% from $18 million to a meager $1 million. That equates to
less than three cents per person
in the state and puts California
dead last in per capita ranking in
the nation. By comparison, New
York allocates more than $2.00
per person; the national average
is $1.15.
As a result of the cuts,
the agency suspended its grant
programs for the first time in its
history and the largest Artists in
Schools Residence program in the
nation fell to one of nonexistence.
Last year, 1,310 artists and arts
organizations received grants from the Arts Council to
carry out their work, thereby enhancing the quality of life
in California. These grants enabled artists to work in
their communities teaching valuable and much-needed
skills such as creative thinking, team-building, and promoting awareness of other cultures. The skills are precisely those that employers seek for the work force of the
21st century. These grants also enabled organizations to
positively contribute to California’s cultural fabric. Additionally, these funds provided additional dollars for
many organizations by means of matching requirements.
The arts make a tremendous impact on the state’s
economy, according to Arts & Economic Prosperity by
Americans for the Arts. Arts, culture, and creativity in

California is a $16.75 billion economic engine providing
400,000 full-time equivalent jobs and generating more
than $825 million in income and sales tax revenue. CAC
grants generate an eight-to-one return on the investment
and arts consumers and patrons incur ancillary spending in restaurants, hotels, and shops that contribute to
the revenue stream of our cities and towns.
With reduced funding from the state, as well as
from foundations, corporations, and individual donations, and losses from ticket sales from canceled performances, many arts organizations formerly funded by the
CAC are now at risk for their
survival. The organizations most
susceptible are those small- and
medium-budget organizations
serving California’s diverse populations and those in rural counties. With no majority population
in the state, California represents
one of the most diverse states in
the nation with residents representing a wide-ranging variety of
cultures, customs, and communities. While the agency strives
for equity in all its grant programs,
the suspension of grants will disproportionately affect
multicultural groups.
However, there is hope for all
of these areas.
With your help, we can keep
the California dream alive for
thousands of school children, artists, and average Californians by
urging your local elected officials to restore funding to
the Arts Council to a meaningful level. If you don’t know
your elected representative, go to the California Arts
Council web site (www.cac.ca.gov) and locate him or her
by typing in your zip code. Call, write, or fax your state
senator, assembly member, and the governor and tell
them you are a concerned constituent who cares deeply
about this issue. Success in restoring meaningful funding to the California Arts Council lies in YOUR effective
communication with your representatives. Tell them
how you feel and don’t let high quality arts, culture, and
creativity become tarnished in the Golden State.

CIBA Vision Statement
The purpose of the California Indian Basketweavers Association is to preserve, promote & perpetuate
California Indian basketweaving traditions. CIBA accomplishes this in the following ways:
By promoting & providing opportunities for California Indian basketweavers to pursue the study of traditional
basketry techniques & forms & showcase their work
▲ By establishing rapport & working with public agencies & other groups in order to provide a healthy physical,
social, cultural, spiritual & economic environment for the practice of California Indian basketry
▲ By increasing California Indian access to traditional cultural resources on public & tribal lands &
traditional gathering sites, and encouraging the reintroduction of such resources & designation of gathering areas
on such lands
▲ By raising awareness & providing education for Native Americans, the public, public agencies, arts, educational
& environmental groups of the artistry, practices & concerns of Native American basketweavers
▲ By promoting solidarity & broadening communication among Native American basketweavers and with other
indigenous traditional artists
▲ By monitoring public & private land use & encouraging those management practices that protect & conserve
traditional Native resources
▲ By monitoring & discouraging pesticide use in traditional & potential gathering areas for the safety of weavers,
gatherers & others in tribal communities
▲ By doing all of the above in a manner which respects our Elders & Mother Earth
▲
