Today, Creative West highlights a longstanding and impactful grant program for the 2025-26 cycle: TourWest! It is our honor to support the work these organizations undertake to bring meaningful arts experiences to communities throughout the western region.
TourWest Grant Program
Supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the TourWest program has been a cornerstone of our efforts since 1994. It offers vital subsidies to arts and community organizations, enabling them to present out-of-state touring performers and literary artists. This cycle continues that legacy, supporting 298 qualifying organizations as they connect their communities with a diverse range of artistic voices.
