The Fiscal Year 2024 Arts Learning Project Grant supports arts learning activities, including teaching artists residencies and teacher or teaching artists training. It is aimed at providing opportunities for students and people of all ages to engage with practicing artists through lessons, workshops (either in-person or online), and educational performances in schools or community facilities. The grant covers activities that may start planning before but must be executed within the grant cycle of July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. Eligible activities should focus on one or more areas: Arts Education, Arts Integration, or Arts for Social Development. These activities can involve a variety of arts disciplines and aim to develop learning, integrate arts into non-arts subjects, or use the arts as tools for social development and cultural competency.
