About this organization
Mission
Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Westaf (Western States Arts Federation) is a nonprofit arts service organization dedicated to strengthening the financial, organizational, and policy infrastructure of the arts in the West. Westaf assists state arts agencies, arts organizations, and artists in their quest to serve diverse audiences, enrich the lives of local communities, and provide access to the arts and arts education for all. Through innovative programming, advocacy, research, technology, and grantmaking, Westaf encourages the creative advancement and preservation of the arts regionally and through a national network of customers and alliances.
About
See Schedule O. With support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Westaf maintains a Tour West program, which funds arts touring. 'Tourwest,' supports the touring of performing artists across the West. The program is designed to serve small communities, and is heavily oriented towards supporting performing arts presented in small rural communities by entities that are operated by volunteers. At a maximum of $2,500, these grants are modest in nature but have made a significant difference in smaller communities where contributions from government and business have diminished greatly in recent years. The Tourwest programs awards over 200 grants annually and services all corners of Westaf's 13-state region.
