Funding Opportunity for Arts Integration

Thu, 13 Feb 2020 11:22:33 -0500

UMBC has received a generous gift from the Charlesmead Foundation to fund partnerships between full-time faculty/staff/graduate students, K-8 Title 1 Baltimore City schools, and local arts organizations. Full-time faculty/staff/graduate students are eligible to submit proposals for projects that introduce new or strengthen existing arts programming for K-8 Title 1 Baltimore City students. Examples of previous and current projects may be found here.

What if you don't have a current connection with a school or an organization? Not a problem! On Thursday, February 20th, from 4:30-6pm, there will be a free networking mixer (exact location on UMBC campusTBD) with city school teachers and arts organizations. You will be able to hear the needs and resources of these potential partners, float ideas that you may currently have, and together brainstorm ways to serve local youth with quality arts education experiences. Refreshments will be served.

Please send an RSVP to Rachel Wallace at rachelw4@umbc.edu if you plan to attend. We hope to see you there.
