ArtsWA is pleased to announce the first ever Tribal Arts Grants. The grant is a pilot project to support Tribal communities as they expand, enhance, or create space for art and culture that is respectful and responsive to each community’s needs. 20 Washington State federally recognized Tribes applied for and were awarded the funding. The application was not competitive and focused on supporting culture, language, arts, artists, and the passing of ancestral knowledge. The Tribal Cultural Affairs program is honored to support Washington Tribes and is looking forward to providing assistance to every project in a respectful and appropriate way. We, at ArtsWA, are excited and anticipating completion of the projects.
