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 2012-2013 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 artists through advance coordination with the Arts Council.
AinE program funding comes from MSAC and must be matched at least a dollar-for-dollar basis by the requesting school—most often from parent-teacher organizations.
The Arts Council is offering an AinE Workshop at 7 pm, Wednesday, September 5, at the Brookletts Place, the Talbot County Senior Center, at 400 Brookletts Avenue, in Easton. If this is not a good time for school representatives, they may arrange a separate individual orientation meetings.
Information/application packets for AinE Grants are available for downloading from the Arts Council’s website: www.talbotarts.org. For hard-copy application materials or further information, contact the Talbot County Arts Council by phone 410-310-9812 or email gearly@talbotarts.org.
