This funding is designed to support effective and innovative approaches to artist-led instruction outside 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, adults, and seniors with high-quality artistic learning experiences. Projects should draw on arts education practices to engage participants in the creation and interpretation of artistic works.
