How are
the artists chosen for California Cultureplace?
In the initial
phase of this project, the artists chosen for California Cultureplace will
come from the pool of artists who have been selected as master artists
in ACTA's Apprenticeship Program. In this program, expert reviewers
evaluate applicants according to criteria including artistic quality and
traditionality. In the future, ACTA staff will expand beyond this
program in their curation of this site.
