Grant Information Session
During the month of April, the Arizona Commission on the Arts will host an online information session on the new Arts Learning grant programs: Arts Learning Collaboration Grants and Lifelong Arts Engagement Grants. This session will be offered on two separate occasions.
Thursday, April 7, 2016, 3:30 pm
Wednesday, April 20, 2016, 3:30 pm
- Arts Learning Collaboration Grants enhance the work of arts educators, classroom teachers and school-based arts programs through collaborative projects taking place in-school (during regular school hours), after-school, or during summer/inter-session and in-services.
- Lifelong Arts Engagement Grants enhance the work of community and social service organizations/ governmental entities through partnership projects with professional teaching artists and/or arts organizations.
Grant guidelines for both Arts Learning Collaboration Grants and Lifelong Arts Engagement Grants are available for review now. The application period for Cycle A will open the first week of April, 2016.
The Arizona Commission on the Arts is proud to host a special orientation session for the Southwest Folklife Alliance (SFA) Master-Apprentice Award.
The Southwest Folklife Alliance Master-Apprentice Award is designed to support the teaching/learning relationship between traditional artists and their apprentices. The goal of this award is to strengthen the transmission of community-based traditions throughout the Southwestern United States. The award supports a master artist or tradition bearer who has identified a qualified apprentice (or group of apprentices), to engage in a relationship that includes intensive learning, one-on-one mentorship and hands-on experience in his/her traditional artistic practice.
April 30, 2016: 10 am – 11:30 am

This online information session will include discussion of ARDG application and eligibility requirements, a breakdown of the application components and a live Q&A with Arts Commission staff.
