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.

JH Public Art facilitated the Arts for All grant process with a panel of five local community members with diverse experience in arts and culture who scored and discussed each application. Examples of funded grants include: JH Children’s Museum’s efforts to provide free after-school art programming in partnership with Teton County Library; Grand Teton Music Festival’s StringFest that facilitates young string players learning from professional musicians; and Off Square Theatre’s work with Missoula Children's Theater touring program.
