PARTNERS IN THE ARTS:
ARTS IN EDUCATION
Arts-in-Education Local Capacity Building Grants
The Saratoga County Arts Council is committed to encouraging greater use of artist residencies within the school districts of Saratoga & Washington Counties. To achieve this goal, the Arts Council established the Arts-In-Education Initiative Grant in 1991. With a small amount of seed money, over a 10-year period the program distributed more than $38,000 to schools in Saratoga County to support exciting artist residencies.
Beginning with the 2001-02 school year, The Arts Council was appointed by NYSCA to administer their AIE-LCB regrant program, which sponsors innovative artist residencies in elementary, middle and high schools throughout Saratoga and Washington Counties. Schools may apply annually for artist residency grants. Since 2001 we have regranted over $125,000 for Arts in Education projects!
The deadline for the 2009 AIE/LCB Grant is on Monday, November 3, 2008 at 5pm.

Workshops are open to all, and held in fully accessible locations.
