The Arts and Cuture Commission of Contra Costa County was established in December 1994 to advise the Board of Supervisors in matters and issues relevant to Arts and Culture, to advance the arts in a way that promotes communication, education, appreciation and collaboration throughout Contra Costa County; to preserve, celebrate, and share the arts and culture of the many diverse ethnic groups who live in Contra Costa County; to create partnerships with business and government; to increase communications and understanding between all citizens through art. Most importantly, the Commission will promote arts and culture as a vital element in the quality of life for all of the citizens of Contra Costa County.
The Commission has eight members, one from each Supervisorial District, two at-large members and one alternate. Each seat has a four year term.
The Commission is recommending the appointments of Y'Anad Burrell to the At-Large 1 seat Geoffrey Meredith to the Alternate seat with expiration dates of June 30, 2015.

The applicants were interviewed by the Arts and Culture Commissiion of Contra Costa County and recommended to the Family and Human Services Committee for appointment. The Family and Human Service Committee was unable to meet and review these applications. To prevent a delay in the appointment of these individuals which would hamper the work of the Commission due to lack of a quorum, the Family and Human Services Committee has asked that the recommendations be forwarded directly to the Board of Supervisors for approval.
