The Mississippi Arts Commission offers the MWS Capacity Building Project Grant through its Mississippi Whole Schools program. First made available in fall 2022, the grant supports projects that strengthen capacity for education in the arts at participating schools.
Mississippi Whole Schools is the commission’s comprehensive statewide arts education program. It promotes high-quality instruction and learning across disciplines by combining arts integration in daily classroom teaching with sequential, comprehensive instruction in dance, theatre, visual arts, and music. The capacity-building grant supports arts education within this broader framework, connecting project support with the program’s emphasis on the arts as part of teaching and learning.
