Glow Nights request drops to $35,000 for FY27 travel-tax funding

Jackson Hole Public Art wants the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board to consider a $35,000 FY27 request for Glow Nights, a $15,000 cut from the $50,000 figure in its original application, according to the board’s staff report Jackson Hole Public Art FY27 Partnerships Staff Report.

The staff report says the change came “after conversations between Jackson Hole Public Art and Visit Jackson Hole,” and was made to match Visit Jackson Hole’s fiscal-year timeline. For taxpayers and lodging-tax payers, the part to watch on Aug. 13 is whether the board treats this as a simple budget trim, or asks for clearer reporting on what the $35,000 buys this year before entertaining a bigger ask next cycle.
