ArtsWA grants provide resources for organizations to create arts experiences with and for their communities. Our grants focus on cultural equity and expanding the creative economy, and support arts participation by ensuring that all people have culturally relevant access to the arts.
Grants to Organizations (GTO) funds projects, programs, and services spanning artistic disciplines, cultures, and traditions. ArtsWA funded programs reach audiences and arts professionals across the state.
