june_12_artsEven as private and public support for the arts ebbs in response to economic uncertainty, artists’ ability to respond and create new work is as strong as ever. Likewise, our communities continue to crave opportunities to come together, experience and be inspired by art. We’re pleased to be able to help foster the creation of 169 projects in the coming year, which will benefit citizens throughout the county.

4Culture is delighted to announce the Board of Directors has approved $626,110 in awards to King County groups and individuals for arts projects. The awards will support projects by 94 individual artists and 75 groups, in all disciplines of arts: media, music, theater, dance, interdisciplinary, visual and literary arts. 4Culture’s Group Arts Projects and Individual Artist Projects programs are evaluated in two separate application and panel processes.

Through Individual Artist Projects, $330,015 was awarded to 94 projects. Through Arts Projects Groups, $296,095 was awarded to 75 projects. Read more.
