The Cultural Advocacy Coalition works to ensure that that all Oregonians have the opportunity and access to arts, heritage and humanities programs in their communities. It was formed as a partnership between business, community and cultural leaders representing all regions of the state. The CAC’s mission is to increase ongoing public investment in Oregon’s culture and to advocate for arts and culture issues on the national level.

Purchase an Oregon Cultural Trust license plate.
The Oregon Cultural Trust was authorized to create a unique license plate, both to raise funds and to build awareness of the Oregon Cultural Trust. Oregonians may purchase this distinctive plate by paying an additional $35 (two plate fee of $30, plus $5 surcharge) when they register at Driver and Motor Vehicles (DMV). Proceeds from the surcharge will go into the Oregon Cultural Trust to support its grants programs.
The colorful abstract design was selected after an open competition that had over one hundred entries from Oregon artists. The plate was designed by Kelly Kievit, a fine artist who is currently working as a graphic designer in Portland. Rather than attempting to represent “culture” through specific images, or emphasizing one cultural sector over another, the Oregon Cultural Trust chose a design that is bold, abstract and distinctive.
For more information on the Oregon Cultural Trust license plate program please see the Oregon DMV site.
