Tacoma Creates

Tacoma Creates issued its Annual Report to the Development Committee of the Tacoma City Council. Fifty-seven organizations whose missions are to advance arts, culture, heritage and/or science were funded in the inaugural year in Washington's first and only cultural access program. Designed to support and nurture Tacoma's cultural sector, Tacoma Creates distributed $4.7 million of voter-approved tax revenues to organizations through a competitive funding cycle in early 2020 just as the pandemic forced cultural organizations to reinvent regular programming. Funding during the 2020-2021 program year provided essential support for organizations to develop engaging programming, continue to serve and uplift the community, and keep creatives and cultural workers employed in Tacoma. The funded organizations produced a total of 412 programs, approximately two-thirds of which were produced for the general public and the remaining one-third were youth education programs. With a focus on equity and access as a guiding principle, the vast majority of programming was free for participants. More information is available at http://www.tacomacreates.org.
