We are pleased to announce the January 4, 2008 launch of the California Cultural Data Project (California CDP). This project is the most ambitious and comprehensive effort ever to gather and analyze information about the contributions of the cultural sector to California's economy and quality of life. During the coming year, applicants to many California grant programs will be asked to participate in the California CDP.
