Summary
The Special Arts Initiative grant is designed to support In-School and Out-of-School-Time arts and humanities projects for students in pre-school through 21 years of age. The grant also supports professional development opportunities in the arts and humanities for classroom educators working with these students. Programming may either occur during the traditional school day (in-school projects) or in the after-school/weekend/summer hours (out-of-school-time-projects). Potential applications may detail initiatives such as field trips, workshops or professional development to build knowledge, skills and understanding of a particular artistic/humanities discipline, or arts and humanities integration opportunities promoting the use of arts/humanities as a technique for integrating with other content areas.
