April is the fifth annual Arts, Culture and Creativity Month in California, and advocates for the arts are promoting diversity in the arts workforce and celebrating recent policy wins. In Los Angeles, the County Board of Supervisors just voted to join Arts for LA s Creative Jobs Collective Impact Initiative, which aims to create 10,000 living-wage jobs in the state s creative sector by the year 2030. Gustavo Herrera, CEO of Arts for LA, said the idea is to rebuild the arts economy after COVID. .
To kick off Earth Month in April, a Bay Area event called the Regenerative Gala will promote the concepts of ethical consumerism and fashion and art as a vehicle for change. The event s fashion show rejects so-called "fast fashion" which produces clothes in sweatshops, often made from petroleum-based synthetic fabrics. Joelle Provost, a low-impact painter whose works will be featured, said the focus is on natural fabrics produced on farms avoiding pesticides, rejuvenating the soil, and paying a living wage. .
