Through our Scholarships and Grants program, we aim to advance the creative talents of artists in all facets of the arts including, but not limited to, music, dance, drama, sculpture and visual arts. We continue to aid the Kitsap County schools in encouraging art in the kindergarten through eighth grade classrooms. In addition, we also offer grants to adult artists.
