The Arts Education Program provides support for diverse and challenging arts learning in schools and communities. The Commission believes that all young people should have an arts education that is curriculum-based, linked to content standards, and enriched by ongoing opportunities to work with artists and community-based authentic arts resources.

To achieve this goal, the Arts Education Program encourages teachers, artists, arts organizations, and communities to work cooperatively to foster the learning and artistic development of students and teachers in kindergarten through grade 12.

Two main grant categories are available to support Arts Education initiatives:

QUICKFUND$ quarterly grants for short-term projects or professional development.

• QuickProject supports arts education projects initiated by nonprofit organizations and schools.
• Teacher Incentive Grants are available to individual teachers for projects in their classrooms.
• Professional Development Grants support school-based educators, Idaho teaching artists, or arts education administrators.

ARTS EDUCATION PROJECT GRANTS are available annually to support substantial activities that unite effective practices in education and the arts, and that involve schools, artists, and community organizations.
