California Institute for Community, Art, and Nature

The California Institute for Community, Art, & Nature is a fiscally sponsored project of Earth Island Institute, a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our core programs focus on three areas: Working with the native communities of California on issues of political sovereignty and cultural survival. Understanding and maintaining Berkeley as a center of cultural and social innovation. Exploring the powerful connection between nature—place—and the arts, and the role they play in invigorating the social imagination. Our recognition of beauty and our determination to share it with others in central to our mission.
