As part of the national observation of America’s 250th anniversary, ArtsWA is launching a Project Support grant program, “Latine and Hispanic History in Washington State.” This initiative will support:
- A planned project focused on Latine and Hispanic History
- Addition to a planned project to include Latine and Hispanic History
- A new project that includes or is solely about Latine and Hispanic History
Washington State has adopted three themes to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States: “We the People,” “Power of Place,” and “Sharing History.” For this grant program, they have chosen “Sharing History”. This grant program aims to rediscover and elevate the aspirations, stories, and valuable contributions of the Latine and Hispanic communities in Washington State throughout the past 250 years, enriching public understanding and fostering broader representation of the ways the Latine and Hispanic community have contributed to the Pacific Northwest, both past and present.
Funded projects should enhance the understanding and celebration of Latine and Hispanic history in Washington, including migration stories, labor, community organizing, cultural resilience, community memory, and contemporary voices over the past 250 years.
