About the Summit

Our 5th annual California Arts & Culture Summit takes place on April 28 - 30, 2027 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center and Performing Arts Center in Sacramento, CA.

Our 2027 Summit is a celebration of 20 years of championing arts and culture as essential to vibrant communities across California. As we enter this milestone year, we are reflecting on how far we have come, and on the future we can create together.

The Summit is designed around our Arts, Culture & Creativity Month (ACCM) theme, Create to Change: Building Our Civic Power. This theme embodies our fundamental belief that artists are not only creators. We are innovative advocates, dedicated organizers, community leaders, and essential partners in building healthy communities, thriving local economies, and a more vibrant California for all.

Join us as we bring together voices from across the state to explore what it means to build civic power through creativity, culture, advocacy, and collective action.
