The California State Library, California for the Arts, California Humanities, and the California Arts Council join thousands of humanities and arts organizations, learning centers, and heritage sites across the nation to celebrate National Arts and Humanities Month throughout October. We will carry this message to all of California through information and activities that honor the efforts of artists, historians, teachers, and cultural groups working to make the arts and humanities a familiar part of everyday life.

This year, the State Library, CA for the Arts, California Humanities, and the CAC will spotlight the crucial role that the arts and humanities play in our civic life. Supporting accessible and engaging arts and humanities experiences within our state’s cultural organizations and educational systems prepare all people, young and old, for civic participation, allowing us to exercise our citizenship by assessing the evolution of our core values and making space for creative expression of those values.
