Nominations for the Mayor's Arts Awards
Apply to get recognized for Excellence in Arts Teaching
The Mayor's Arts Awards are the most prestigious honors conferred by the city on individual artists, teachers, nonprofit organizations and patrons of the arts. This year the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities will present the 30th Annual Mayor's Arts Awards.
They are still accepting nominations for the Excellence in Arts Teaching Award.
The Excellence in Arts Teaching Award honors full-time visual and performing arts teachers in DC Public and Public Charter Schools who have demonstrated exemplary instruction of arts curriculum while building strong student-centered environments in their school communities. Applicants for this award may be nominated by a peer or administrator at their school or may self-nominate. Applicants must include the following work samples and materials to support their application: - Philosophy of Arts Education (maximum of 2 pages)
- Sample(s) of Teacher Work - Art Work & Curriculum
- Sample(s) of Student Work
The deadline receipt of entries is 5:00 PM on Friday, July 24, 2015.
*Please note: The DC Commission is using the same online portal for our FY16 grant applications as we do for the Mayor's Arts Awards nomination. Once you log in and click the button to begin a new application, select Mayor's Arts Awards from the list of currently open programs.

DC Collaborative #StoryBank Blog
Please help us document your school's AFES experiences!
The DC Collaborative wants to hear from your school! Would your students be willing to share print (such as quotes and testimony), photographs and artwork to help us show the AFES experience? You can still submit blogs about last year's trips!
As we collect more personal stories we'll have more opportunities to promote AFES to our supporters and provide more AFES experiences!
