To support arts programs services and activities associated with carrying out the agency's national endowment for the arts-approved strategic plan

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) awarded the Arts Idaho Commission On a Project Grant of $1,023,278 under the Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements program (CFDA 45.025) for the period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. This award supports arts programs, services, and activities aligned with the organization's NEA-approved strategic plan for the state of Idaho. The funding enables the Arts Idaho Commission On, Idaho's primary state arts agency, to develop and execute comprehensive arts initiatives including exhibitions, performances, educational projects, and community engagement efforts throughout the state.

The Partnership Agreements program provides general funding for the execution of all aspects of the state arts agency's strategic plan, including designated support for folk and traditional arts, arts education programs, and outreach to underserved communities. As a state arts agency recipient, Arts Idaho Commission On will utilize this two-year grant to advance artistic excellence, expand public access to the arts, and support local artists while promoting partnerships with regional organizations to enhance cultural programming across Idaho's diverse populations.
