Summary
The intent of the funding is to support multi‑week in‑school artist residencies that integrate with the existing arts curriculum, align with state arts education standards, and include teacher professional learning opportunities around art integration. The goal is to engage students, teachers, and community through art, strengthen curriculum alignment, and build connections between school and local communities.
Applicants are encouraged to use a curated statewide roster of vetted teaching artists who have demonstrated their ability to design and lead arts‑based learning experiences in diverse educational settings. This roster supports schools in planning realistic, effective residency projects.
Funding is available across all regions of Alaska; applications are reviewed twice yearly, with deadlines generally in mid‑May and early November for activities beginning in the next academic term. Funding decisions are typically made within a few weeks after review.
This opportunity is ideal for nonprofit schools or district partners seeking to bring professional, culturally responsive arts instruction into K‑12 classrooms through structured residencies. The grant provides meaningful educational enhancement, professional development for educators, and enriched cultural experiences for students across the state.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Alaska that are actively involved in Financial Assistance. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
