Description
The South Carolina Arts Commission’s Term Arts Education Project Grants expand access to quality arts learning for preschool (3K–4K) and K–12 students during the academic year, including beyond the school day. The program supports arts organizations and other community providers using the arts to meet students’ educational, developmental, and social needs. Projects must complement, augment, or advance standards-based arts instruction or arts integration aligned with school curriculum.
Supported disciplines include visual, performing, media, and design arts, folk and traditional arts, and creative writing. Activities can include workshops, artist residencies, performances, exhibitions, non-summer camps, and professional learning for educators and artists. Priorities include educational partnerships, rural and high-poverty student populations, and organizations or students in SCAC’s Opportunity Initiative counties.
