Dancing Earth Outreach, Southern Ute Cultural Center, Ignacio, Colorado
Creative West serves states, jurisdictions, and tribal nations — inlands and islands — cities that rise like steel cliff sides, and rural landscapes where the earth meets the sky. We refer to our region as “the West” inclusively. Though it’s a burdened, imperfect phrase, we hope over time — and through our action — to fill this term with a reverent, responsive meaning.
Our direct-service work includes funding, programming, leadership development, convenings, and advocacy to move arts and cultural policy forward. Across all, we focus on distributive action that spreads power, information, and resources into our creative communities. We honor their agency by supporting their goals directly — seeking partnership, not power — knowing that our region contains multitudes.
We offer direct, practical support to artists, culture-bearers, state arts agencies, and creative organizations.
We convene experts and leaders to address critical arts and culture issues and to provide an opportunity for practitioners and thinkers to reflect on topics particular to the West while considering a national context.
Our technology platforms equitably build bridges in the arts — connecting artists and arts organizations with opportunities and art-seekers with artists.
We amplify the work of creative organizations by building arts technology and policy systems that can be delivered anywhere.
