Tribal Cultural Affairs
Tribal Cultural Affairs works to support Washington tribal communities as they expand, enhance, or create space for art and culture, in a way that is respectful and responsive to each community’s needs.
Public Art
Our Art in Public Places program (AIPP) purchases and cares for artworks in state buildings, colleges, universities, and schools throughout Washington. The State Art Collection includes nearly 5,000 artworks, located where people study, work, and live.
Arts in Education
ArtsWA is committed to improving and expanding early learning and K-12 arts education. Our grants and programs serve students, families, and communities.
Grants
ArtsWA grants help communities nurture and grow the arts. These communities are located in rural and urban areas throughout the state. Our grants focus on cultural equity, the creative economy, and K-12 education.
