About the Bay Area Artist Census

The Bay Area Artist Census (BAAC) is a first-of-its-kind, artist-led initiative designed to gather critical data on the material conditions, needs, and challenges facing artists across the region. As one of six participating Bay Area counties, Contra Costa plays an essential role in ensuring the voices of our local creative community help shape a more equitable and sustainable future for artists.
