ABOUT CALCAS

The California Creative Arts Society was founded

on a simple but powerful belief: Creativity changes lives.

For too long, many artists have had to pursue their dreams without support systems, educational resources, or professional opportunities. CALCAS was created to change that reality.

Our organization exists to serve as a central hub for California’s creative community by providing resources, networking opportunities, educational programming, and platforms that help artists succeed.

We embrace every creative discipline, including:

●    Music

●    Visual Arts

●    Film & Television

●    Dance

●    Literature

●    Photography

●    Graphic Design

●    Fashion

●    Digital Media

●    Theater & Performing Arts

●    Cultural Arts

●    Emerging Creative Technologies
