The CAC’s arts education grant programs are rooted in the agency’s belief that robust, sequential, culturally and linguistically responsive arts learning is an essential tool for healthy human development, and that it should be a core element of the education of every student. The overarching purpose of their arts education grant programs is to expand participation in meaningful arts learning opportunities by supporting these activities in a diversity of settings and contexts for infants, children, and youth.
Program Goals
Projects should address the following Exposure program goals:
- Increase student access to and participation in school-based arts education as part of coordinated efforts with school site leaders, district staff, and County Offices of Education.
- Cultivate students’ appreciation for the arts and understanding of themselves as the next generation of arts patrons and participants.
- Promote culturally and linguistically responsive learning through the arts, using cultural knowledge to support the cultural assets of the local community and students’ positive self-identification within and respect for diverse cultures.
- Develop long-term, mutually beneficial relationships between arts and educational organizations, teaching artists, and the youth and families in the communities they serve.
