NEA Fine Arts Grants
Secondary Arts 2006-2007, Administered on behalf of the National Education Association. Elementary and secondary teachers are eligible in alternate years of this program. This year, we are accepting applications at the secondary level (grades 6-12). Purpose: The National Education Association (NEA) Fine Arts grants are awarded to teachers, through local NEA affiliates, to enable them to create and implement fine arts programs that promote learning among students at risk of school failure. Programs must address the arts (e.g., painting, sculpture, photography, music, theater, dance, design, media, or folk arts). Amount: The grant amount is $2,000. At least ten grants will be awarded. Grant funds may be used for resource materials, supplies, equipment, transportation, software, and/or professional fees. Restrictions: Funds may not be used to pay indirect costs, grant administration fees, or salaries, or for lobbying or religious purposes. A majority of the funds may not be used to engage an artist-in-residence.
