In that time, we have disbursed over $2 million in support of these efforts, with an average award of $13,733 to 15 applicants in 2022. Investment has increased by 168% in nominal terms and 91% in real terms since 2006. Since 2020, WESTAF has increased investment in state level advocacy in the region by 30% in response to constituent-defined needs and aspirations. Aggregate state arts agency revenues in the West have increased by 147% from 2019-2022 and by 229% from 2016-2022 based on National Assembly of State Arts Agencies data. Advocacy funding has grown to not only support public affairs contracts in the 13 WESTAF states but also public affairs technology, advocacy capacity building training, arts advocacy days and summits, field visioning meetings, travel to Washington D.C. to engage legislators, economic studies, and other activities. The 2023 cycle opened November 18, 2022 and is accepting applications until January 9, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=&#8221;Full Width Line&#8221; line_thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; divider_color=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;25&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;25&#8243;][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14413 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/WA-Strategic-Plan.jpeg\" alt=\"People sitting in a circle on a wooden floor with small square windows in the background.\" width=\"351\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.wearecreativewest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/WA-Strategic-Plan.jpeg 384w, https:\/\/staging.wearecreativewest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/WA-Strategic-Plan-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/staging.wearecreativewest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/WA-Strategic-Plan-100x133.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\"><b>Washington Creative Economy Strategic Plan Update<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\">The Creative Economy Strategic Plan work group took place on December 12, 2022 and featured state Senator Lisa Wellman and other legislators who were instrumental in the state\u2019s embarking on the strategic planning process. The team is also working on the development of a report on initial consultation findings and policy research. The project directors are also conducting interviews with Seattle\/King County arts and culture leaders and economic development leaders and recently hosted a focus group with indigenous creative entrepreneurs. In collaboration with work group members, a series of focus groups are being planned with corporate leaders from the creative technology sector, BIPOC-owned creative businesses, and other stakeholders in the Puget Sound region of Washington to take place in January 2023. The team has engaged over 45 individuals (independent of the work group) through interviews and focus groups to date, in addition to forming the 34-person statewide work group. The consultation process aims to engage up to 100 individuals across the 9 regions of the state. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=&#8221;Full Width Line&#8221; line_thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; divider_color=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;25&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;25&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14415 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ALAS.png\" alt=\"Arts Leadership and Advocacy Seminar Logo\" width=\"386\" height=\"107\" \/><br \/>\n<b>WESTAF&#8217;s Arts Leadership and Advocacy Seminar Returns<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\">Save the date! WESTAF\u2019s Arts Leadership and Advocacy Seminar (ALAS) brings together arts leaders from the West and Pacific jurisdictions to advocate for federal government investment in arts, culture, and the creative economy to members of Congress. After a brief pause on advocating in-person and moving the Seminar to a virtual format in 2021 and 2022, we are so excited that the event will be returning again to Washington D.C. <strong>February 13-16, 2023<\/strong>! WESTAF will hold a virtual pre-session for those who would like to learn more about the current landscape of federal arts advocacy and will share registration information soon. ALAS seeks to bring together a group of arts leaders from the West to Washington, D.C. to meet with members of Congress and their staffs, engage in briefings regarding the status and future prospects for federal arts support, and to discuss with the WESTAF trustees ways to generate more state government support for the work of state arts agencies. We are excited to be organizing an in-person fly-in once again, with expanded partnerships and new collaborations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;35&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff; text-transform: uppercase; padding: 15px; background: #a2ba46; font-size: 25px;\">social responsibility &amp; inclusion\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;25&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;25&#8243;][vc_column_text]<b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14416 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/CNMI-ARP.png\" alt=\"Paper cutouts of face profiles with &quot;American Rescue Plan, 2022 CNMI Grantees&quot; written in white font\" width=\"411\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.wearecreativewest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/CNMI-ARP.png 512w, https:\/\/staging.wearecreativewest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/CNMI-ARP-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/staging.wearecreativewest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/CNMI-ARP-100x56.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\"><b>Announcing the 2022 Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) American Rescue Plan (ARP) Grantees<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\">We are delighted to announce that WESTAF will be awarding grant funding to 32 individual artists and culture organizations across the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), with grants awarded averaging $3,875 each.

Anika and three other panelists reflected on what makes a strong application and discussed strategies for presenting work for panel review for IAA and similar opportunities such as funding, residences, and fellowships. While designed for those who might be applying for the 2023 awards, this session also provided supportive strategies for composing portfolios and statements for external reviewers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;25&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;25&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff; text-transform: uppercase; padding: 15px; background: #a2ba46; font-size: 25px;\">LEADERS OF COLOR NETWORK UPDATES\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;25&#8243;][vc_column_text]<b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14381 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/LoC-1024x244.png\" alt=\"Leaders of Color Network Logo\" width=\"344\" height=\"82\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\"><b>WESTAF and Regional Arts Organizations (RAOs) Hosted Virtual Information and Mentoring Session for LoCF Applicants<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\">The inaugural National Leaders of Color Fellowship (LoCF) Program, launched in August 2022, received over 400 applications from across the country. After discussion among the U.S. regional arts organizations (RAOs), WESTAF planned a virtual session for the applicants who did not make it into this year\u2019s fellowship to share about opportunities and resources available in each region. Approximately 100 applicants met in breakout rooms by region to get to know each other and consider ways they can continue to connect. Some ideas included newsletter sign-ups, job opportunities, and grant review panelist positions. Following the breakout session, applicants spent time with members of the LoCF faculty to receive mentoring and advice. WESTAF plans to continue connecting with applicants from our region and providing information and resources with a listening ear in support of their work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221;
