Overview
The Every Child Art Experience grant is a $2,500 award given directly to schools to support taking students to an out of school art experience. Experiencing and participating in art is an essential part of creating strong communities and developing healthy, engaged, and creative students. Understanding that not all students have equal access to the arts, this program seeks to close the gap in access and prioritizes school in Alliance and Opportunity Districts. More information on Alliance and Opportunity Districts can be found by visiting: https://portal.ct.gov/SDE/Alliance-Districts/Alliance-and-Opportunity-Districts
