Arts in Education Grants

The Arts in Education Program invites all public and private schools in Anne Arundel County to apply for no more than two (2) grants per school year (i.e. one of each grant or 2 residency grants or 2 auditorium grants). These grants are used to fund artistically driven educational programs, in-person or virtually. Funding is limited to residencies or performances by artists listed on the following approved artist rosters: ACAAC, Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC), Artivate, or Arts For Learning Maryland. All applications will be reviewed by the ACAAC Arts in Education Committee and funding for as many programs as possible will be approved based upon our annual program budget; preference is given to Title I schools. It is the responsibility of the applicant to book the artists and secure any additional funding needed. All applications must be completed in full, along with the required proposal from the artist or the artist’s representative to be considered. ACAAC grants received through the Arts in Education Program should be acknowledged in the school’s newsletter, parent communications, and event programs or agendas. Please review the grant guidelines below.
