Description
The Arts in Education Mini Grant, administered by the West Virginia Department of Arts Culture and History, supports the presentation of West Virginia artists to students in kindergarten through grade 12. Schools and 501(c)(3) organizations can receive support for performances, workshops, and other arts education experiences that bring the work of the state’s artists to school-age audiences.
The program centers on artist-led arts education rather than a single presentation format. Both performances and workshops are specifically supported, alongside other experiences within the program’s educational purpose. The focus is on connecting West Virginia artists with K–12 students through presentations of their work.
