Last year, $305,000 was awarded to 31 Flagstaff nonprofits.

Deadline quickly approaching for entries to NightVisions
NightVisions: Cultural Interpretations of the Night Sky is an international juried art exhibition at Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, AZ that seeks to explore and celebrate our deep connections with the night. In its 8th iteration, we are excited to expand upon the exhibition concept in honor of the legacy of Flagstaff astronomer Carolyn S Shoemaker (June 24, 1929 – August 13, 2021) and her collaborations with husband and geologist Eugene Shoemaker (April 28, 1928 – July 18, 1997), with the inclusion of archival astronomical elements alongside the work of contemporary artists. This exhibition will coincide with the grand opening of CCA’s new Digital Resource & Education Center in May 2022. $2500 in jurors’ awards will be announced at the opening reception.
