program offers support to eligible arts groups, colleges and schools to increase access to high quality arts for all Virginians; to increase opportunities for artists to create and present their work; and to expand arts education opportunities for young people. This grant program is open to any not for profit organization presenting the arts. It is one of the Commission's most competitive grant programs.
One hundred and nineteen Virginia towns, counties and cities received support totaling $482,500 through the Local Government Challenge Grapt Program. The localities will match these funds dollar for dollar or higher and then award the total to arts organizations in their jurisdictions.
Applications representing more than 40 schools, school divisions, and arts organizations throughout Virginia were selected to receive matching funds through the Artists-in Education Residency Program for elementary and secondary schools. This program offers support for multi-day residencies involving professional artists listed in the Commission's Artist Roster.
Artist residencies reinforce curriculum based arts instruction provided by a school or school division. Artists work with students and teachers, interact with the communityat-large and are allowed time for work on their art form. Each year tens of thousands of Virginia students benefit from the special resources and training, as well as the opportunity to work with exceptional professional artists through this program.
