Music to Our Ears: We’re a Music Man Foundation Grant Recipient!
December 3, 2025
We have exciting news to share—Creative West has received a grant from The Music Man Foundation! Named for the Tony-award winning musical The Music Man, written by Meredith Wilson (who also gave us the holiday classic “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas), the Foundation honors Wilson’s legacy by increasing public funding for the arts and promoting policies affirming the value of arts in our society.
“As an artist legacy foundation honoring Meredith Willson, the Foundation is proud to amplify the work of these 26 organizations,” said Sarah Lyding, executive director of The Music Man Foundation. “We celebrate the vast variety of their efforts, including advocating for public funding for the arts, supporting veterans with PTSD, implementing creative aging programs for older adults, increasing awareness about the health benefits of the arts, and advancing equity in classical music. These organizations are having a major impact on communities through music, both locally and nationally.”
We are honored to be among the recipients of this generous support, which will help us advance arts advocacy in our region, champion public funding for the arts, and promote the value of the arts in communities across the West.
Our deepest thanks to The Music Man Foundation for this gift and shared belief in the power of the arts to inspire, connect, and create change.
