In fiscal year 2005 (July 1, 2004-June 30, 2005) the Washington State Arts Commission provided funding support to 102 arts organizations that presented 32,807 arts events and projects in communities across the state. Through our work, the state art collection grew by 39 pieces, and conservation was completed on 35 works of art. Eleven artists served as apprentices with masters in traditional or folk arts, and we invested in 28 small grassroots arts and community organizations, providing targeted funding and training. We advanced arts education goals in 19 communities through partnerships involving local arts organizations, educators and civic leaders.
