Performing Arts Experience Grant for Alternative Education

Dear educators,

With the end of the school year quickly approaching, we wanted to remind you about the opportunity for alternative education sites in the Oklahoma State Department of Education system to receive up to $2,000 in funding to give students an inspiring performing arts experience. Oklahoma Arts Council's  new Performing Arts Experience Grants for Alternative Education are available to use toward bringing in performing artists for an in-school concert or taking students on field trips to see a live performance. There is no cash match requirement, and funding can be used to pay for artist fees, travel, tickets, and other costs. 

Applications are due 60-days in advance of the project, so please don’t wait to apply. Details about the grant are available on the Oklahoma Arts Council website at https://arts.ok.gov/Arts_in_Schools/Performing_Arts_Experience_Grant_for_Alternative_Education.html.

This grant program was created with the unique needs of alternative education students in mind. We hope you can take advantage of it!
