As part of our mission to educate and engage the creative community around San José politics and public policy, we’re excited to be hosting an online forum with candidates in the runoff election for City Council District 6, which will be decided this fall.

This is an opportunity for artists and arts advocates to speak directly to current and future city leaders about their experiences related to arts and culture and their positions on key policy priorities for the creative community.

All are welcome to attend this free public event and make your voices heard. Join us for conversations about the future of arts and culture in San José!
