The Arkansas Arts Council is
offering pre-K-12 schools and community organizations an opportunity to
participate in the Arts
in Education (AIE) Mini Grant program. This program
provides funding to bring artists listed on the AIE Roster into
the classroom or into an after-school or summer program to present a hands-on,
curriculum-based or character-centered artist residency program that can last
up to 10 days.
Applications are available at www.arkansasarts.org for residencies occurring between Oct. 1, 2012, and August 31, 2013.

The Arts in Education Mini
Grant program will also allow schools and organizations the opportunity to
present a professional development workshop for educators in curriculum-based arts
activities either in conjunction with, or instead of, an artist residency.
Applicants may receive a maximum of $2,000, using established AIE program rates
for artist fees, travel, meals, lodging and supplies.
Applicants must show a 1:1 match of cash and/or in-kind contributions. All Arkansas schools and community organizations will be able to apply. Schools and organizations in rural and underserved communities that have not had access to one of the Art Council’s AIE grant programs are especially encouraged to apply.
