“We believe that creativity and artistic learning are critical to a well-rounded education,” said David Heitman, president of The Creative Alliance. “Knowing that art teachers often have to spend their own money on supplies, we’re happy to offer these mini-grants to support art education on a local level.”
Kids Need Art applications for the Spring 2008 semester are being accepted through December 15. Winners of those mini-grants will be announced in early January.
