On Thursday, August 12, 2021, representatives from our Art & Science General Operating Support grantees gathered for a celebration and presentation at the Coconino Center for the Arts. The grantees were joined by City Coucilmembers Becky Daggett, Miranda Sweet, and Regina Salas as well as Mayor Paul Deasy who gave a few remarks during the celebration.

$305,000 was awarded to 31 Flagstaff non-profits for general operating support through the Art & Science Grant program supported by the City of Flagstaff’s BBB tax. For more information on this year’s grantees click here.

After Mayor Paul Deasy gave a few words to our grantees, Creative Flagstaff’s Executive Director Jonathan Stone followed up with a presentation highlighting all of the 31 Flagstaff non-profits included in this year’s awards. Additionally, Stone gave a quick presentation on a few exciting programs Creative Flagstaff has underway, including the Digital Resource & Education Center and the proposed 2023 Arts & Ideas Festival.

After the presentations, the grantees, elected officials, and Creative Flagstaff staff gathered outside to enjoy refreshments and conversations.
