In February 2023, the Nevada County Arts Council became one of 13 California agencies to administer part of the $60 million California Creative Corp grant. The grant is intended to be an economic and workforce recovery pilot program to fuel positivity, regain public trust and inspire health and safety across California. It is also very much like the Federal Writing Project, part of the WPA of the 1930s, also created for many of the same goals. Learn about the American Guides published by the Federal Writing Project, the subversive triumph of the participating writers and how this new grant program is similar as well as how it is very different. How can you participate? This is a part presentation and part workshop. Session: 2
