Arts for All Funded Grants Announced
Jackson, WY: $47,000 in Arts for All funding provided by Teton County and the Town of Jackson has been awarded to 18 local arts and culture organizations and two individual artists. These grants provide direct support to organizations and artists to address gaps in existing art programs, broaden public access to the arts, enhance arts education, support the production and presentation of new works, and provide ongoing operating assistance.
JH Public Art facilitated the Arts for All grant process with a panel of local community members with diverse experience in the arts who scored and discussed applications. Examples of funded grants include: Jackson Hole Writers’ creative writing class for adult writers who need help getting started; Mental Wellness Collaborative’s free, monthly art classes; and Tumbleweed Creative Arts’ production of Petticoat Rules in celebration of the musical’s 25th anniversary.
