Art non-profits up and down the valley are currently campaigning for votes from community members as they compete for a  $7,000 grant from First Western Trust.

The competition is based on community votes — about 6,000 have been cast so far. Wednesday is the last full day to vote.

 

Jazz Aspen Snowmass, the Carbondale Clay Center and the Glenwood Springs Center for the Arts are in contention. A few non-arts groups are running for the grant as well, including the Aspen Historical Society, as well as Aspen Junior Hockey.  

You can place your voteshere.
