Introducing the 2025 Creative West Artist Fund Awardees

June 11, 2025

This year, 39 artists across the 16 states and jurisdictions in the western region have been awarded as part of the Creative West Artist Fund. This program is designed to provide meaningful resources, encouraging creativity, self-determination, and well-being for artists and creative communities.

Offering no-strings-attached funding to meet a wide range of needs, the fund aims to support artists so that they can focus on their work and professional growth.

The Creative West Artist Fund is committed to cultivating community by empowering artists to thrive. Through unrestricted funding, the program provides direct resources to artists wherever they are needed most in their creative journeys.
