Artists in Schools and Communities grants go to 30 organizations
The most recent round of Montana Arts Council’s Artists in Schools and Communities (AISC) grant program saw yet another marked increase in the number of applications submitted, including 13 by entirely new applicants.
“The depth and breadth of this year’s awardees is a remarkable representation of the excellent work being accomplished by organizations and teaching artists on behalf of fortunate arts learners of all ages,” says Arts Education Director Monica Grable.
Supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and State of Montana funds, $150,915 has so far been granted to awardees in two of three AISC categories: Arts Learning Partners and AISC Grants $1,500-$5K. A third category – AISC Grants Under $1,500 – is scheduled to be awarded by late June.
