The Every Child Art Experience grant is a $2,500 award given to eligible public schools to support taking students to an out of school art experience. Experiencing and participating in art is an essential part of creating strong communities and developing healthy, engaged, and creative students. Understanding that not all students have equal access to the arts, this program seeks to close the gap in access and prioritizes school in Alliance and Opportunity Districts. More information on Alliance and Opportunity Districts can be found by visiting: https://portal.ct.gov/SDE/Alliance-Districts/Alliance-and-Opportunity-Districts 

To be eligible for this grant you must be a public school in Connecticut.

Funds must be used in the same school year as the funds are awarded. 

Proposed activities must take place outside of school and include at least 25 students. Activities must be accessible to students of all abilities and meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Standards.
