Grassroots Arts Program funds may be used for expenditures to conduct quality arts programs in public or private schools. Typical uses of Grassroots money include program expenses such as professional artists’ fees and travel, space rental, advertising, marketing and publicity, website and electronic media, scripts, costumes, sets, props, music and theater equipment rental.

Schools wishing to hire teaching artists or in-school (in-person or virtual) performances are encouraged to utilize the following partner resources:

Schools booking artists in conjunction with the partners will not be required to provide work samples/artist resumes in this application.
