Each year, we invest in arts and culture through a grants program that supports quality arts programming, arts education, cultural events and festivals in our community.
For 2017, our Arts Commission awarded more than $195,000 to 33 projects — ranging from the downtown Issaquah ArtWalk and local concerts to arts programs for local schools and at-risk youth.
Through its annual review process, our Arts Commission recommended the grants, which were then approved by the City Council and incorporated into the 2017 City budget.
