Description

The purpose of the 2021–22 Arts Curricular Innovation Grants (ACIG) is to assist schools and districts in developing and implementing arts initiatives that support quality arts education programs that significantly improve student achievement in the arts. ACIG funds must be used to develop quality comprehensive and sequential arts programs (dance, music, theatre, and visual arts) that operate during the regular school day.

EAAP grants are designed to support the advancement of school arts programs, including dance, music, theatre, and/or visual art to provide equitable access, resources, and arts opportunities to all students. Applications may include any and all arts areas.
