California Arts Council Launches Celebrity-Endorsed License Plate Campaign to Raise $40 Million

What better way to get you all revved up than with more license plate news? And maybe this time we aren’t even saying that facetiously. In order to try and raise money for arts programs in state where the government is deeply in the red, the California Arts Council has launched a program called the Million Plates Campaign. They’ve hired the famous pop art painter Wayne Thiebaud to design a new plate, which they’re hoping residents will switch over to from the old plates for $50 ($78 for personalized) and bring in $40 million or more by January to help cover their grants and educational programs.
