Arts Education Grant Application

The Arts Education Grant, available through the Cultural Arts Alliance's Art For All program, is designed to inspire Walton County K-12 students to explore, create, and express themselves through the Arts. The CAA provides direct grants to teachers in public schools, private 501(c)(3) schools, and home school settings, funding projects, supplies, and tools that support and integrate Visual, Literary, and Performing Arts in the classroom.

Grants are awarded biannually, supporting innovative projects that bring Arts experiences to life and give students hands-on opportunities to engage, learn, and grow creatively.

Approved applicants can receive a maximum award of $1,000 up to two times per year.
