2026 AFA Grants Announcement

Arts For All
Written By Kate Vranac

Jackson, WY: $47,000 in Arts for All funding provided by Teton County and the Town of Jackson has been awarded to 20 local arts and culture organizations and two individual artists. These grants provide direct support to organizations and artists 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 local community members with diverse experience in the arts. Examples of funded grants include: Jackson Hole Community Radio’s Intermountain Best that gives KHOL listeners and readers insight into the people and stories behind the great art that comes through Jackson; the Art Association’s youth after-school winter programming; Jackson Hole Pride’s Spring Fling Fashion Thing 3; and Lina Collado Garcias’s ongoing efforts to chronicle the impact of the housing crisis on Jackson’s workforce by blending photography with audio to amplify voices that are often overlooked.

The following 20 local organizations and individual artists were awarded a total of $47,000 in funding with individual grants ranging from $811 to $3,000:
