The Washington State Arts Commission is small independent state agency established by the
legislature in 1961 to conserve and develop the state’s artistic resources. The Commission’s
mission is to cultivate a thriving environment for creative expression and appreciation of the arts
for the benefit of all.
The Commission is made up of 23 members: 19 appointed by the Governor and four appointed
