Arts Fund for Region One- Project Grants

The Arts Fund for Region One, established in 1992, aims to enrich the artistic development of students in the six towns of Northwest Connecticut. By fostering collaborations between schools, artists, and the community, it provides essential funding for arts programs and experiences. This initiative ensures that students, primarily in grades K-12, have access to vital artistic opportunities, thus bridging gaps in arts education and promoting cultural engagement in the region.

The Arts Fund for Region One is dedicated to the mission of providing arts opportunities to the students of Region One and the six towns of the Northwest Corner of Connecticut.
Through the efforts of the superintendent of schools and a private donor, The Arts Fund works to create a pool of private funding to enhance the arts curriculum of Region One. The Arts Fund supports students in their pursuit of arts experiences, brings the arts to the doors of those whose only exposure to the arts is time allotted for the arts in school, and creates bridges between schools, artists, teachers and our community.
