As a USRAO with a longstanding relationship with the National Endowment for the Arts, Creative West is an intermediary and a responsive leader to the state arts agencies in the region.
In 1974, the National Endowment for the Arts entrusted Creative West (then Western States Arts Foundation) with supporting the state arts agencies in 11 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The organization soon came to support the state arts agencies in Alaska and Hawai’i.
In 2022, the region expanded to include the state art agencies in American Samoa, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and Guam. Creative West is committed to offering resources to even the most remote communities in the United States and nurturing partnerships that recognize community values, culture, and priorities.
The following are the State Art Agencies served by Creative West
