HUNTINGTON BEACH....On Wednesday, January 14 the Huntington Beach Art Center hosted the Orange County Creative Town Hall with partners Arts Orange County, California for the Arts, and the California Arts Council's Creative Economy Working Group.

State, county, and municipal leaders joined institutions, professionals, and members of the general public to discuss how all branches of the arts impact our economy and how to foster growth in this sector across state.

Huntington Beach Art Center is honored to have facilitated this conversation for the Orange County area; the stories and conversations shared at this meeting will inform a plan addendum to be submitted to the Governor’s Office and State Legislature this spring. Many thanks to all who participated!
