Advancing Equity in Washtenaw County
In partnership with the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation (AAACF), we are pleased to announce our 2026 Washtenaw Artist Grant recipients, each receiving $1,800.
With a focus on racial equity, the Washtenaw Artist Grant program supports artists in Washtenaw County working on either new or existing community-based projects. This grant program seeks to activate the artistic and cultural identity of all people in Washtenaw County and support access to local arts and cultural experiences through its support of artist-led, participatory projects.
Congratulations to our 2026 Washtenaw Artist Grant recipients!
