Description
This grant program, supported by the Richard P. Kimmel & Laurine Kimmel Charitable Foundation and administered by the Nebraska Arts Council, is designed to enable K–12 students in Southeast Nebraska to access enriching arts experiences. Funding helps cover transportation, admission, and associated workshop fees for field trips to professional arts events such as concerts, dance and theatre performances, and museum exhibits.

The goal is to increase arts access for students, especially in communities with limited opportunities due to geographic or economic barriers.
