Fisher Arts Education Minigrants

Are you connected to an educator in Wayne County who works with pre-K through 3rd grade students? Are they a champion for the arts in their classroom? If the resounding answer is yes, then recommend them for a Fisher Arts Education Minigrant.

CultureSource expects to make 6-10 minigrants in total, and will administer this program again in 2023 and 2024.

Minigrants will be made to schools for teachers to use for the following uses:

Up to $1,500 for Arts Equipment and Supplies for purchasing new music stands, repairing instruments, buying more drying racks, paintbrushes, a couple of clarinets, and more.

Up to $500 for Field Trips to help support bus and transportation costs of field trips to places of artistic and/or cultural significance in the region, such as a tour of the Ford Piquette Plant, visit to the Arab American National Museum, or school day performance at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
