Marysville’s Red Curtain Foundation for the Arts has been awarded $20,000 through the 2026 Community Accelerator Grant program, bringing support for community theater and arts education in north Snohomish County.

The nonprofit announced the award Nov. 11, saying the funding would help it continue that work. ArtsFund’s official recipient list confirms the amount.

ArtsFund administers the program, which is funded by Allen Family Philanthropies. The partners announced $10 million in grants to 745 Washington arts and culture organizations on Nov. 10.

The grants are unrestricted, giving recipients flexibility to direct the money toward their needs. Awards in this round range from $2,500 to $25,000, according to ArtsFund’s announcement.
