The Talbot County Arts Council has announced its program of Arts-in-Education (AinE) Grants to local public and private elementary and secondary schools for the 2016-2017 school year. The grants support visiting artist or visiting performer programs during school hours.
Applications for AinE Grants must be signed by school principals and submitted by September 30. Selections are made by the board of the Arts Council and announced by end-October. The visiting artists and performers must normally be from the rosters of artists on the website of the Maryland State Arts Council (www.msac.org), but exceptions may be arranged for local and national/international artists through advance coordination with the Arts Council.
AinE program funding comes from MSAC and must be matched on at least a dollar-for-dollar basis by the requesting school—most often from parent-teacher organizations.
At 7 pm on Tuesday, August 30, the Arts Council is offering an AinE Workshop, combined with a visiting performer block-booking meeting with the Carpe Diem Arts Outreach Fund of the Mid-Shore Community Foundation. This will occur at the Arts Council office at 215 Bay Street in Easton–the county office building behind the ponds on Bay Street between the Easton Parkway and North Washington Street.
Information/application packets for AinE Grants are available for downloading from the Arts Council’s website: www.talbotarts.org. For further information contact the Talbot County Arts Council by phone 410-310-9812 or email [email protected].
