"Art is Business"- posted by Alpha Bruton- growing up in Fresno, California, 1955 to 1980, moving to Sacramento, CA, for my studies in Art Education and Studio Art. 

About: The Fresno Arts Council (FAC) is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 1979 under the name of the “Alliance for the Arts” by local artists, arts organizations, and interested individuals who wished to create a voice for the arts in the Central San Joaquin Valley.

Our mission is to “enrich people's lives through the arts." Our purpose is to foster an arts community that recognizes and honors the contributions of its citizens to the arts; advocate to city, county, state, and national institutions on issues of concern to valley artists; and collaborate with community leaders, businesses, corporations, foundations, and other arts organizations to bring artists and audiences together.

Arts Specialty:

The FAC is an active advocate for artists and the proliferation of Public Art in the City and County of Fresno. To advocate is to provide active support, to educate, and/or speak in favor of a cause, an issue, or an organization. We do not lobby the government to influence legislation, but we are advocates for the arts and culture program for the citizens of the City and County of Fresno.
