Description
The Teacher Initiated Project (TIP) Grant from the Utah Division of Arts & Museums empowers individual K-12 educators employed in Utah schools to pursue personal artistic growth. The grant funds 16 hours of one-on-one instruction with a professional teaching artist of the educator’s choice in any artistic discipline, regardless of prior experience. The purpose is to foster the educator’s own creative development, not to enhance classroom teaching skills. The grant pays the artist directly for their instructional time, allowing teachers to explore new artistic fields for their own enrichment.
