Hey Reader,
Today is Giving Tuesday and we are inviting our community to help carry this work into 2026. As your Arts Council of San Bernardino County, we keep one belief at the center of everything we do. When people have access to the arts, communities grow stronger and more connected.
That belief came to life across the county this year. With your support, artists shared their work with new audiences. Young people explored their creativity after school. Families came together in cultural spaces. Neighborhoods celebrated their stories through public art and local events.
Together, we:
- Awarded 26 microgrants to local artists
- Hosted the Inland Film Festival with workshops and master classes
- Expanded after school arts programs for youth
- Strengthened our teaching artist workforce
- Celebrated the ribbon cutting of Sole Alley and held community gatherings that built belonging
Your Giving Tuesday gift helps us continue this momentum. Every contribution supports creative learning for young people, opportunities and training for artists, public art and cultural programming, and community events that stay accessible for everyone.
If you are able, we invite you to make a Giving Tuesday donation that supports this mission and helps local creativity grow.
Thank you for believing in this mission and helping us build an arts ecosystem where every story has a place to grow.
Warmly,
Arts Connection
