BACKGROUND
Culver City Arts Foundation (CCAF) was born out of the Culver City Cultural Affairs Commission. The founders wanted to expand their independence and community reach to be able to better serve the needs of everyone, from art lovers and supporters to the artists who contribute to Culver City's vibrant arts landscape.
