Summary

Overview

Creative West Established in 1974 as a nonprofit U.S. Regional Arts Organization (USRAO), Creative West was founded on the belief that place matters to the creative process. Fifty years later, communities of place, practice, experience, and identity remain fundamental to our work, framing our understanding of how culture is creatively produced and collectively experienced. Creative West empowers artists and culture-makers with direct, practical resources, delivered regionally. We offer practical, equity-centered learning experiences and funding opportunities that connect and inspire artists, culture-bearers and communities to build a more inclusive sector, strengthen the arts field, and catalyze change. Pacific Jurisdictions Artist Fund Launched in 2025, the Pacific Jurisdictions Artist Fund is a bold, community-rooted initiative co-designed by artists, cultural practitioners, and creative leaders from American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). This grant program centers cultural sustainability, equity, and care—offering unrestricted support to artists living and creating at the intersection of identity, tradition, and place. The fund is a trust-based grant designed specifically for artists and culture-bearers in the Pacific Jurisdictions. The program provides unrestricted awards to support creative practice, cultural preservation, rest, healing, or daily needs—however each artist defines it.
