Arts in Education Grants

Arts in Education (AIE) grants invest in partnerships between schools, community organizations, and teaching artists. These partnerships support arts learning as an essential part of basic education for pre-school and K-12 students. AIE grants support curriculum development, arts learning projects, professional learning for educators, efforts to increase access, and more.
