Give Now to Keep the West’s Arts and Culture Ecosystem Thriving

For over 50 years, Creative West (formerly WESTAF) has been dedicated to uplifting and strengthening the cultural infrastructure and artistic practices of the West. We work to ensure that every community in the West gets to meaningfully participate in the vast creativity of our region. You can join us in this work by making a gift today.

Generous Westerners like you allow us to continue to:

  • Provide meaningful, direct, and flexible financial support to artists and arts organizations throughout the West, allowing them to advance their practices and reach more communities.
  • Strengthen creative capacity across the West through local, state, and federal advocacy efforts that result in policy wins for our region’s artists and arts organizations.
  • Innovate technology platforms and develop tools that provide access to economic and creative opportunities for artists and arts organizations across the nation.
  • Nurture the next generation of diverse arts and culture leaders through our professional development programs.
  • Invest in our region’s State Arts Agencies through professional development, direct funding, and technical support.

We hope you will join us in advancing and strengthening the West’s unparalleled creativity and the communities, artists, and organizations that make it possible. Give today!
