- Advocacy for arts issues including a new Encinitas Arts and Culture Center
- Exhibitions Education and Opportunities
- Artists showcase meetings
- Themed Promotion for art banners
- Skills Workshops
- Volunteer support for EFA programs and events
Education Outreach to bring some more art to our community is a future vision.
