About the Jackson County Cultural Coalition
Jackson County offers a rich array of cultural activities ranging
from its music, theater and art communities to its galleries, museums
and historical sites to dance, storytelling, folklore and literature.
The Jackson County Cultural Coalition recognizes the importance of
all aspects of the arts, heritage and humanities, and seeks to promote
public and private support for each.
The Coalition is part of the Oregon Cultural Trust, an innovative funding mechanism meant to strengthen every aspect of Oregon's culture through a permanent endowment that will grow to more than $200 million. The Coalition invests in grants to local programs designed to preserve and strengthen Jackson County's arts, heritage and humanities and guarantee that every resident benefits from our region's cultural assets.
The Jackson County Cultural Coalition is comprised of community members involved in all aspects of Jackson County’s cultural and economic life. The major goals of the Coalition are:
- Support participation in and access to cultural activities for all Jackson County residents.
- Support and promote cultural educational opportunities, especially for youth in Jackson County.
- Support and promote awareness of the Oregon Cultural Trust
