Arts for All

06/11/2026

We are honored to announce that Arts for All has been selected as a 2026 Phase I Grant Recipient from the Trinity Health Foundation of East Tennessee! We were delighted to attend a beautiful luncheon celebrating 27 organizations that collectively received $244,942 in Phase I funding. Nearly 70 proposals were submitted by nonprofits across the region. This grant will support the research, planning, and sustainability development of our “Theater My Way Workshops,” helping us build a strong foundation for a Phase II implementation proposal later this year. We are incredibly grateful to the Trinity Health Foundation, its dedicated board members, and supporters for investing in projects that strengthen and improve the health and well-being of our East Tennessee community. Thank you for believing in the power of inclusion, creativity, and opportunity for all.
