REGIONAL PLAN:
CC.5 Support and promote art, science, and education resources for all to experience.
Background: To enrich the lives of our community and our visitors, dedicated Bed, Board, and Beverage Tax monies support the operations and projects of local arts, science, and cultural organizations. BBB Arts & Science funding is provided to these local non-profit organizations in the form of grants through a contractor, the Flagstaff Arts Council.

grant administration such as determining grant eligibility, processing applications, and balancing grant amounts with available funds.
This year the Flagstaff Arts Council awarded $300,000 to a wide variety of organizations, including for example the Arboretum at Flagstaff, Ballet Folklorico De Colores, Flagstaff Community Band, Flagstaff Festival of Science, Flagstaff Light Opera Company, Grand Canyon Guitar Society, Hozhoni Foundation, Northern Arizona Book Festival, Northland Family Help Center, Theatrikos Theatre Company, USA Dance, and the Willow Bend Environmental Education Center.
