Creative West has awarded $30,000 to three key service organizations through the 2025–2026 Consortia Professional Development Grant. This competitive, invitation-only program, made possible through a partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), invests in the professional growth of the performing arts sector.
The grant supports regional and statewide organizations that provide high-quality professional development for performing arts presenters. Funded activities include conferences, workshops, and other learning opportunities designed to strengthen leadership and build resilience within the industry. By supporting these service organizations, the grant helps expand professional development access for presenters in communities across the West.
Please join us in recognizing the following grant recipients for their commitment to advancing the performing arts field:
- Western Arts Alliance (Portland, OR)
- Arts Northwest (Port Angeles, WA)
- Montana Performing Arts Consortium (Great Falls, MT)
These strategic investments empower our partners to continue their vital work of nurturing talent and fostering a connected arts ecosystem. Creative West is proud to facilitate this support in collaboration with the National Endowment for the Arts.
