The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) awarded $717,300 under the Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements program (CFDA 45.025) to the Washington State Arts Commission (Arts WA) for the period of July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023.

The funding will support arts programs, services, and activities carried out under Arts WA's NEA-approved strategic plan.

The award is consistent with the purpose of the Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements program to strengthen collaborations between the NEA and its state and regional government partners.
