LexArts has launched a new initiative to subsidize the cost of engaging local arts organizations and bringing more arts programming to Fayette County Public Schools.
LexArts envisions a healthy and vibrant community where all students are engaged and empowered through excellent arts education. Arts education is vital to developing America's next generation of creative and innovative thinkers. LEXARTS Arts in Schools Impact Grants-funded programs demonstrate LexArts’ commitment to supporting students, teachers, and learning throughout our community. This funding is focused on providing arts education for all students and closing the opportunity gap for students for whom a high-quality arts education is so often out of reach.
Overview:
- Arts in Schools Impact Grants target public and private schools with low-level funding for the arts.
- Approved programming will supply funding for all pre-K-12 students, teachers, and administrators.
- Arts project requests may be in any artistic discipline.
- Applicants may request a cost-share grant of up to 50% of the chosen arts organization’s program invoice.
- Arts project requests will engage local arts organizations provided by the Arts Everywhere for Students – A Teachers Guide.
