Background
Each year the California Arts Council prints a poster to celebrate California Arts Day, the first Friday in October. While California Arts Day generally celebrates arts and creativity, each specific year is centered around specific themes and images to highlight different artistic and creative aspects of our state.
People today are expressing themselves creatively, especially through the use of computer and digital tools to create images, music, videos, and other artwork simply for the joy of it. For 2009, the main theme for California Arts Day is “The Art in Me” and focuses on the individual creativity of each Californian.

Eligibility: Students at California fine art and design colleges
