School Arts Grants Program

 

ArtsGreensboro has announced its annual grant program which supports Greensboro area teachers, schools and PTAs who want to incorporate the arts and arts projects into their curriculum in innovative and creative ways. The application deadline is October 15 at 5pm.

 

The 2013-2014 Teacher Art Grants program awards grants to emphasize arts projects and programs in all school subject areas; bring artists into the classroom; reach large numbers of students; and encourage cooperative arts projects among schools, teachers, PTAs and other organizations. This year's program will award grants ranging in size from a few hundred dollars, up to $1,500, to arts projects in public, charter and private schools serving Greater Greensboro area students in grades K - 12. [NOTE: Schools in High Point and Jamestown should contact the High Point Area Arts Council for potential funding at (336) 889-2787 or  www.highpointarts.org.] 

 

Teachers, PTAs and/or schools are eligible to apply. Grants are not restricted to music or art teachers; any teacher may apply for funding of a project that fits within school guidelines and addresses the goals and objectives of the curriculum by which each school is governed. Applications requesting funds for arts resources, programs and hiring of arts consultants or artists will be considered, provided the project involves direct student and teacher participation, and meets funding eligibility requirements.

 

Check online for more details. Interested teachers, schools and PTAs are urged to download the brief application at www.artsgreensboro.org, or to call ArtsGreensboro weekdays at (336) 373-7523, ext. 245, for questions and more information.
