Arts Restoring Community (Initiative)
The Cultural Affairs Commission is one out of the fifteen bodies in USAC (Undergraduate Students Association Council). The mission of CAC is create programming that sparks conversation on contemporary and social issues.
Â
The primary focus of the commission is to program events with cultural, political, or social relevance that are accessible to all students. "Edutainment" (education + entertainment)Â and arts activism have guided the purpose of the commission over the past years. Specifically, the programs are meant to ignite conversation regarding current events, facilitate an exhibition of creativity, and also engage more student investment, connection, and participation. Our programs foster an inclusive environment that permits students at UCLA to challenge and exchange with one another to achieve international solidarity. The programs, events, and services, offered by the commission are unique in their nature and are unduplicated by any other campus entity.
