We collaborate with arts education partners across the county to help ensure that arts education is accessible to all students. Visit the Arts Education page to learn more.

We leverage (and seek) local, regional, and national funding to build grant programs and specially funded projects in support of the work of our creative community.

• Visit our Grants page to learn more about our grant making. 
• Visit our Special Projects page to learn about in-process and completed intiatives. 

• Are you an entrepreneur or navigating a start-up? Begin with our Economic Development Board’s Start-Up and Entrepreneurial Services Intake Form so that we can know how to best assist you. 
• Are you an established creative individual or organization/enterprise? Please email us your question(s) at CreativeSonoma@sonoma-county.org and we’ll direct it to the best person on our staff to assist you. 

We forge a stronger creative community via partnerships with local entities and government agencies.

We present workshops and training based on trends and needs in the creative sector and on community feedback. Visit our Professional Development page and Our Events & News for offerings.

We bring together new ideas – and sometimes funding – with innovative people and organizations to improve, support, and expand our creative community.

• Our Coffee and Conversation series of town hall style meetings has taken us across the county to communities of all sizes to hear directly from you why you have made Sonoma your creative home and what you need to move forward (in-person convenings paused during COVID-19 health restrictions). Make sure you are on our mailing list to be alerted about meetings near you.
