NC Arts Council Grant Technical Webinar with NCDPI

The North Carolina Arts Council’s FY23 Arts in Education Artist Residency Grant application is now open. This category is designed to give schools and school districts funding to bring artists into the classroom, either virtually or in person, for a residency during the 2022-2023 school year. Grant funding supports standards-based, long-term artist residencies that provide students with the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and skills in the arts. The grant also provides pathways for teacher professional development and collaborations with community arts partners.

Join us for an in-depth discussion of the Arts in Education Artist Residency Grant Program and learn more about the North Carolina Arts Council’s current arts in education resources, initiatives, and teacher professional development opportunities.

The NCDPI Office of Learning Loss Recovery is partnering with the NC Arts Council Arts in Education Director & Accessibility Coordinator, Kathleen Collier, to host a technical webinar covering the aspects of applying for these grant opportunities on March 16 at 11:30 am. This webinar will be for art teachers, federal program managers, district grant managers, principals, and all other interested parties.

North Carolina's Vision for Comprehensive Arts Education

In today's globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina's 21st century education. (Senate Bill 66: Comprehensive Arts Education Task Force, 2010)
