October 16, 2019: THE EMPOWERED ARTS EDUCATOR: FINDING THE FUNDING

For just about every school looking to start, grow, or sustain high-quality arts programming, money is always a practical concern. At this workshop, Arts Liaisons and other arts leaders within CPS learned where and how to obtain additional funds, supplies, and other resources to help turn their arts dreams into reality. Local funders, Department of Arts Education staff, community leaders, and expert teachers offered practical strategies for:

  • Writing successful grant applications
  • Generating community and family support via booster clubs, fundraisers, and donations
  • Maximizing your $1,000 Arts Essentials funding
  • Stretching your budget with free and cheap arts supplies, materials, and equipment

Download the slide deck from the Finding the Funding session.
