The Eagle Arts Advisory Committee (EAAC) grant program aims to enrich the City of Eagle's history and aesthetically enhance its sense of place. This is achieved by responsibly promoting the arts for the benefit of the greater Eagle community and by introducing new opportunities that meet the cultural needs of a larger, more diverse community. The overarching goal is to establish the City of Eagle as a destination city in Southwest Idaho through artistic and cultural offerings. The EAAC's mission aligns with this by actively seeking to grow artistic opportunities, inspire community pride, and provide reasons for surrounding communities to converge in Eagle to enjoy a variety of artistic experiences.

This ensures that the majority of the grant funds are directly applied to project implementation and community benefit. Expected outcomes include an increase in artistic opportunities within the City of Eagle, a heightened sense of community pride among residents, and an increase in visitors from surrounding communities drawn to Eagle's diverse artistic offerings. Measurable results would involve tracking the number and type of artistic and cultural events supported, the reach of educational programs, and the overall engagement of the community and visitors with these initiatives.

The EAAC's strategic priority is to establish Eagle as a premier cultural destination in Southwest Idaho, using the arts as a catalyst for community development and engagement.
