Since the first publication of Aha’s national arts and music publication The Creative Line magazine (50,000 readers nationally) in June 1999, the seeds of the Aha! began to take root and flourish throughout California. The magazine reaches from San Diego to Santa Barbara and from Los Angeles to the San Francisco Bay area and across America. Also, our Aha! Call to Arts! Artists Summit and Conference has been bringing thousands of artists together under the banner of creating community, integrity and vision in the arts. Five separate summits have been executed so far including ones at Beverly Garland's Holiday Inn in Hollywood, Pasadena Conference Center, Cal State University Fullerton and Cal State University Northridge.
