Arts Grants for Santa Clara County Teachers
The ArtsEdConnect partnership of the Santa Clara County Office of Education and SVCreates is pleased to announce that through the generosity of the Warmenhoven Family Foundation and the County of Santa Clara, arts education grants will be awarded again this school year.
The ArtsEdConnect program awards grants to eligible teachers and classrooms in public and charter schools in Santa Clara County to support and encourage arts education in our schools. The grants are available to take students on arts field trips, bring artists into the classrooms, fund student performances, and create various art projects that foster creativity, innovation exploration, self-expression, and social and emotional learning.
Eligible educators from all levels and content areas are invited to create projects that support stand-alone arts experiences in the five arts disciplines (music, visual art, media art, dance, theater) or integrate science, technology, history, literature, or social sciences with the arts.
