| New WAEA Potawatomi Grant Program
The Wisconsin Art Education Association (WAEA) will be offering 3 opportunities annually for WAEA members to apply for a 1,000.00 WAEA Potawatomi Grant to fund quality art experiences for art students and make their dreams come true as well. The WAEA Potawatomi Grant Program supports standards based projects that provide opportunities for children and youth to gain in-depth art knowledge and skills in both school and community-based settings. As you know, visual arts education programs play a pivotal role as the nation seeks to improve high school graduation rates, counter the achievement gap in urban and rural communities, and prepare young people to participate in a workforce dependent upon creative contributions. WAEA is inviting all members to submit a WAEA Potawatomi Grant application to support an exemplary art experience for children and youth. Grant applications will be accepted for innovative and creative programming for visual arts education grades kindergarten through college. Upon completion of the project, grant recipients will be required to submit an article to the WAEA e-ArtTimes and/or present at the WAEA Fall Conference to share their project with other art educators.
