Consortia Professional Development Grant Program

Creative West’s Consortia Grant is a competitive grant program funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Consortia organizations within the Creative West region will be awarded professional development grants to provide capacity-building services to their members and constituents. These services will include workshops, conferences, and online resources for artists, arts professionals, and arts organizations, focusing on a wide range of engagement and touring related topics. The goal of these grants is to ensure that members and constituents who might not otherwise have access to professional development activities have support to do so. Programming can be virtual and/or in-person.

Creative West defines consortia organizations as largely state-wide and/or regional professional service organizations committed to serving performing arts presenters and affiliated professionals through access to professional training, leadership development, and knowledge exchange for performing arts in the WESTAF region. Creative West supports this work through sub-awards to help fund their professional development conferences and workshops.
