APPLY NOW
CARES RELIEF GRANT
Solano County Arts Council in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and the California Arts Council (CAC) will administer a sub-grant program to fund general operating support, and/or project-based support to local arts and cultural organizations serving communities of color disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
The Cares Relief Grant will help enhance the capacity of our communities of color to become stronger, more sustainable, and better able to serve as advocates for change. Important expected benefits are equity and inclusion.
With this grant program, new broader understanding of diverse forms of artistic expression and engagement will emerge and bring new societal benefits. SCAC plans to re-grant to cultural organizations of color at our community level that serve vulnerable populations that have been especially affected by COVID-19.
Funded projects will address a pressing social inclusion and well-being need, serve local arts and cultural organizations serving communities of color led by people of color; and be carried out in a short time frame . Eligible organizations working to foster resilience in Solano County communities can apply for funds.

This powerful statue was created by artist Jean Cherie out of foam and then painted to look like bronze. Once people started seeing the finished foam sculpture it was apparent that during these turbulent times, this needed to be cast in bronze and made a permanent piece of public art in our beautifully diverse community.
Let’s Make Magic! Join us and help turn foam into Bronze and make Public Art reflect the World you want for your Children!

VALLEJO SECOND FRIDAY ARTWALK - JUNE 10, 2022
One of the main priorities of the Vallejo Second Friday Artwalk and the Solano County Arts Council has been to identify and eliminate barriers to art access.
By implementing this priority, we see how culturally responsive programming creates equitable opportunities to support access to art in the city and throughout the county.
Join us in Vallejo every 2nd Friday at the Art Walk!

I wrote this tonight on hearing the great John Prine has passed, after his fight with the virus. This is for him.
Super Moon
by Abby Owen
Gone so fast, gone too soon,
All alone in a sealed off room.
Fighting a war you couldn’t win,
It’s Vietnam all over again.
There’s contagion in the world I fear,
It’s raging far and sometimes near.
Six feet apart we might be spared, Six feet under,
if we’re ill prepared.
Drawn to the light of the Super Moon,
Gone so fast, gone too soon.
Your songs remain, tho you’ve gone away,
Your stories to be told another day.
Mother Earth sends a warning call,
You’re not listening child, pay attention now.
Take a breath, while you still can,
Mend the scars upon her lands.
There’s contagion in the world I fear,
It’s raging far and sometimes near.
Six feet apart we might be spared,
Six feet under, if we’re ill prepared.
Drawn to the light of the Super Moon, Gone so fast, gone too soon.
Your songs remain, tho you’ve gone away, Your stories to be told another day.
