Harford County Cultural Arts Board Invests in the Community
Harford County Cultural Arts Advisory Board is now accepting applications for the Arts in Education Grant program. This grant is available to Harford’s nonprofit schools, government facilities, and community-based settings serving youth or other traditionally-underserved population. Interested parties can locate grant applications through GrantSpace, an online system accessed through Harford County Cultural Arts Board’s website. Link, grant guidelines, and contact information are online at www.CulturalArtsBoard.org.
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, while funds remain. Arts in Education Grants support high-quality arts experiences including (1) on-site teaching artists-in-residence; (2) visiting performers; or (3) tickets and transportation costs for visits to museums and arts performances.
Harford County Cultural Arts Board Coordinator Jessica Cleaver shares, “The Arts in Education Grant program was established to provide meaningful opportunities through the arts for underserved community members. Arts experiences foster dynamic learning; sparking conversation, connection, and understanding of the world around us; and can be integrated into any subject, theme, or developmental level.”
Since 2020, Harford County Cultural Arts Board has invested more than $1,000,000 in the local community.
