GA Arts: Arts Education Program Grant

The Georgia Arts: Arts Education Program Grant aims to enhance arts education for K-12 students by supporting programs from Georgia organizations, schools, and agencies. With grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, it funds both one-time events and ongoing programs that align with Georgia Learning Standards. The initiative promotes a cohesive artistic experience, encouraging applications for virtual programming options, ensuring that the transformative power of the arts can reach diverse student populations.

Introduction to Arts Education Program Grant
GCA believes that the arts can transform students, classrooms, and schools. Our Arts Education Program Grant supports schools and organizations whose work demonstrates the meaningful intersection between excellence in the arts and education for K-12 students.
Grant Description
The Arts Education Program Grant supports arts education programs produced by Georgia organizations, schools, or agencies. Programs may be one-time events, such as an arts assembly or visiting artist program, or a series of events, such as a teaching artist residency, afterschool program, or summer arts program, and align with Georgia Learning Standards. Programs with multiple components must demonstrate that there is a cohesive thread and singular goal that ties the elements together. The program must serve K-12 students; however, programming does not have to occur at a school or during school hours.
FY26 Arts Education Program Grant applications may request support for virtual programs, which may be live-streamed or recorded.
The grant amount ranges from $1,000 to $5,000. Applicants may only submit one Arts Education Program Grant application during FY26. Organizations must choose to apply for only one of the following FY26 grant programs
