Press Release: Arts for All Funded Grants Announced
Jackson, WY: Nearly $44,000 in Arts for All funding provided by Teton County has been awarded to 20 local arts and culture organizations. These grants provide direct support to organizations and individual artists with the goal 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.
