Join us today, June 9, at 5:00 PM for the Truckee Town Council meeting as we recognize Eliza Tudor and celebrate a decade of her extraordinary contributions to the arts in our community and throughout California.

Eliza is transitioning over the summer months, remaining in post until a new Executive Director is selected. She has been a driving force behind arts and culture initiatives throughout Nevada County, helping secure funding, build partnerships, support artists and cultural organizations, and elevate the role of the arts as an essential part of community life.

Eliza's leadership has strengthened our region’s creative ecosystem and left a lasting impact that will be felt for years.

If you’re unable to attend today’s meeting, please join us for a farewell gathering in her honor:

Monday, June 15
Miners Foundry, Nevada City

Thank you, Eliza, for your incredible years of service, vision, and advocacy for the arts!

Happy Pride, Truckee!

June is Pride Month, and Truckee is celebrating in a big way. The Town of Truckee officially recognized Pride Month with a proclamation from Town Council on May 26, a meaningful acknowledgment that reflects our community’s continued commitment to inclusion, visibility, and belonging.

Truckee Pride Week is now underway, with more than 40 events taking place across town from May 30 – June 7. Organized by the Truckee Pride Foundation, the celebration has grown significantly, shifting from a single week event to a year round movement that includes ongoing community engagement and support for LGBTQIA2S+ youth.

Watching Truckee Pride grow from its inaugural year to its third annual celebration has been inspiring.

Now's the time to raise your voice in support of what makes our towns and cities so special, the arts and culture of our communities.

We have until June 12 to flood the phones of our State reps with one simple request.

Fund the Arts!

🚨 California is at a crossroads.

While a $350 BILLION state budget grows from the AI boom, funding for arts, culture, and creativity is being left behind.

Here’s the reality:
• California ranks 35th in the nation for arts funding
• The California Arts Council budget has been stuck at $24M since 2019
• Meanwhile, the state budget has nearly doubled
We’re not asking for new funding — we’re asking for fairness.

📢 Support:
✔️ $50M for the California Arts Council - $10M of this is earmarked for the Cultural District Program.

If you live, love, or work in the or this money is vital to sustaining the many programs and projects that support our communities!

These investments are proven, necessary, and long overdue. Arts and culture are NOT luxuries — they are essential

👉 TAKE ACTION (it's easy!):
📞 Call your lawmakers (and keep calling!)
📲 Share on social & tag your representatives
👯‍♀️ Rally your community — host a call party IRL or on Zoom
💬 Text 5 friends and ask them to join you

Let’s make sure California’s budget reflects what we truly value. You can learn more about contacting your representatives from our friends at California for the Arts www.caartsadvocates.org/50in50

Here's a great pic of GVNC Cultural District Program Manager Diana Arbex after giving public comment to the State Senate on the importance of funding the arts and culture in California.
