It's not too late to file your 2010 taxes -- and it's not too late to Check Off for the Arts! October 17 is the last day to file your 2010 state tax return to avoid penalties and interest computed from the original due date of April 15, 2011. The California Arts Council hopes to see an uptick in voluntary contributions to the Arts Council Fund when that late filing deadline passes. About 9% of filers submit their returns between the April 15th deadline and the late deadline in mid-October each year.

You've asked; we've listened. Along with the California Arts Council Arts Jobs and Artist Calls online databases under our "Opportunities" tab, we're pleased to add another service: an online database for Internships.
