Every year, TourWest makes it possible for communities across the West to open their doors to music, movement, and story.
This year, 288 organizations are doing exactly that. The 2026-27 TourWest awardees represent the full range of what arts and community look like in the West – from school gyms and rural community halls to libraries and established venues. What they share is a commitment to bringing people together around live art.
That might look like a packed room full of laughter, a poem that puts words to something people have felt but never said, or a performance a student carries with them for years.
TourWest supports arts and community organizations that present out-of-state touring performers and literary artists to their communities. Backed by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the program has strengthened the cultural fabric of the West since 1994 — connecting artists with new audiences and giving communities of every size access to live, regional work.
Congratulations to the 2026-27 TourWest awardees, and thank you for the incredible work that you do!
