The N.H. State Council on the Arts is now accepting applications for Artist Residencies in Schools for Arts Learning Grants, which bring professional, juried artists into public schools, allowing students to participate in extended arts and cultural programming.
Artist Residencies in Schools grants provide students with learning experiences they might not otherwise have as part of their curriculum. The grants support a variety of disciplines, including architecture, creative writing, music, photography, poetry, sculpture, traditional arts and theatre.
Any preK-12 public school or any non-profit organization serving as an alternative education site for special needs students aged preK-21 in New Hampshire that is publicly funded or that has IRS non-profit status and is incorporated in New Hampshire is encouraged to apply.
Grants ranging from $1,000 to $4,500 are available.
This grant round will fund artist residencies in schools programs taking place between July 1 and June 30, 2015. Applications must be postmarked on or before April 11 or delivered to the N.H. State Council on the Arts, 19 Pillsbury St., by 4:30 p.m. on April 11.
For more information about applying for an Artist in Residency Grant, contact Catherine O’Brian, N.H. State Council on the Arts, at 271-0795 or catherine.r.obrian@dcr.nh.gov.
