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.

The impact goals are centered on fostering a vibrant artistic atmosphere and musical environment within Eagle. This includes supporting all areas of the arts, such as visual, performing, musical, and literary disciplines, thereby addressing the cultural needs of a broad and diverse populace.

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.
