Details:
This funding is designed to support effective and innovative approaches to artist-led instruction in the school setting. These grants are meant to build the capacity of local artists and non-profit arts organizations while providing public school-aged students with high-quality artistic learning experiences. Projects should draw on arts education practices to engage participants in the creation and interpretation of artistic works. Instruction must be sequential, age- and skill-based, and focused on the exploration of art and the artistic process. Emphasis is placed on the depth and quality of the creative process through which participants learn through, or about, the arts.

- Sequential, skills-based study that incorporates one or more art forms
- A minimum of three (3) sequential, hands-on learning sessions
