Your gift supports many vital arts & culture organizations!
Your gift to Work for Art will be distributed through a competitive grants program administered by the Regional Arts & Culture Council. More than 80 regional arts and culture organizations that have demonstrated exceptional artistic quality, proven community service, and fiscal responsibility are awarded these grants each year. You can also direct your gift to support arts education. Your donation enables our funded arts and culture organizations to provide nearly 500,000 arts education experiences for students of all ages in urban and rural areas throughout the region and state. Arts education curriculum is designed to tie in with academic subjects such as science, math, health, and history. Many of these organizations are providing critical education services while school funding continues to be cut. You may also designate your gift to a specific arts and culture organization of your choice, based in Clackamas, Multnomah, or Washington County. Services Provided by Work for Art's Funded Groups You can support more than 80 extraordinary regional arts and culture organizations with a single gift to Work for Art. Your dollars directly benefit arts organizations that enrich our families, neighborhoods, schools, and communities with thousands of events, arts education experiences, and outreach services across the region and state. With your help, our funded arts organizations can reach out to those who would not otherwise have access to the power and inspiration of the arts due to income, disabilities, isolation, or other barriers. These groups provide transportation, scholarships, free or discounted performances, workshops, and diverse arts experiences in partnership with more than 100 health and social service agencies, including: ALS Association Boys and Girls Aid Cascade AIDS Project Coffee Creek Correctional Facility Partners for Affordable Housing Disability Resources Dress for Success Elder Resource Alliance Head Start Mary’s Woods New Avenues for Youth Oregon School for the Blind Oregon Food Bank PFLAG Providence Cancer Center Shriner’s Hospital for Children Starlight Children’s Foundation Upward Bound Youth Employment Institute | Currently Funded Organizations: Artists Repertory Theatre Bag&Baggage Productions Blue Sky Gallery BodyVox Dance Bouand Dance Company Broadway Rose Theatre Company Cappella Romana Cascadia Composers Chamber Music Northwest Children's Healing Art Project The Circus Project Dance Coalition of Oregon defunkt theatre Do Jump!
