The Idaho Commission on the Arts, under the Office of the Governor, aims to enable access to the arts, arts education, and preserve Idahoans’ cultural and artistic heritage. It supports not-for-profit arts organizations to stabilize their operations for reliable public program delivery. The commission promotes arts education among elementary educators, encourages cultural traditions through convening masters of traditional arts, and fosters artful, culturally rich towns beneficial for Idaho’s prosperity.
The Projects for Organizations grant supports public projects and events of nonprofit organizations, informal arts groups through fiscal agents, and arts-in-education projects in schools and school districts. This quarterly grant opportunity focuses on facilitating access to the arts and enhancing arts education, thereby contributing to the cultural and artistic enrichment of communities throughout Idaho.
