Thanks to the efforts of Brian Frederick, Richard Mack, Ray Mack and a number of Gallery One staff and board members, Gallery One has recently received two grants through the Washington State Arts Commission: One grant will assist the Gallery with operational costs for the next year; the other, supported in part by an award from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the National Endowment for the Arts, will help pay for personnel. Gallery One board and staff are thrilled that our efforts are appreciated and supported by the state. We hope to continue to provide exceptional arts programming for the greater Kittitas Valley region through the next year and beyond.
