Important Announcement for 2025 Grants

Over the last seven years, the Wasatch County Arts Council has granted more than $75,000 to local arts organizations, which include theater, orchestra, children’s theater, Cowboy Poetry, after-school arts programs, and local art & music festivals.

Since the introduction of the TAP Tax in 2023, the availability of funding for art programs has changed dramatically. Wasatch County, Heber City, and Midway City now offer grants to help access TAP Tax funds. With these new funding options in place, the WCAC has decided to discontinue offering its own grants. However, our mission remains focused on actively promoting the arts in Wasatch County. We will continue to host events like the Chalk Art Festival, engage in community events, and serve as a partner for arts organizations and events.

We encourage you to contact us with any questions.

The Wasatch County Arts Council is pleased to announce that grants have been awarded to eleven local Arts Groups for the 2024 grant cycle. These grants strive to support our local artists, performing groups, and individuals by offering yearly arts grants.

The Council was able to award over $16,000 in grants this year to the following groups in our community: Wasatch Parent Network, Art Around the Square, Timpanogos Valley Theater, Heber Valley Piano Festival, Heber Valley Choir & Orchestra, Charitable Acts Theater, Alicia Stockman, All About Voice, Homegrown Concert Series/Danny Boy Entertainment, Midway Arts Association, and the Wasatch Camerata Singers.

Over the past seven years, the Wasatch County Arts Council has awarded over $75,000 in grants to area arts organizations including: theater, orchestra, children’s theater, Cowboy Poetry, after school arts programs, local music festivals, and the Community Main Street Alliance mural. Funds are primarily secured through a gracious donation from the Wasatch County Council as well as additional grants secured by the Council.

WCAC looks forward to seeing this year’s projects come to fruition & wishes all the artists continued success in the arts.
