Description
Arts Education Annual Projects is an annual grant from the Idaho Commission on the Arts supporting activities that unite effective practices in education and the arts. The program places arts education at the center of projects designed to enrich teaching and learning opportunities for K–12 students. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and government units, including schools and school districts.
The program’s evaluation emphasizes student learning needs, access, artistic growth, and well-designed instruction. Proposals are assessed on how learning develops sequentially, connects to Idaho Arts Content Standards, and incorporates the creative process. Assessment, student reflection, and collaboration among qualified artists, educators, and administrators also contribute to the review.
