Creative Curricula is a local arts-in-education funding program administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC). Creative Curricula provides grant support for collaborations between schools and cultural organizations (or individual teaching artists) that focus on the creation and implementation of arts integrated units of study.
This program is part of the Local Capacity Building Initiative at the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and is funded by NYSCA’s Arts in Education/Empire State Partnerships Program. The Local Capacity Building Initiative is a statewide effort to promote widespread participation in arts in education.
How Creative Curricula Works
Creative Curricula makes matching grants of up to $5,000 to partnerships between schools and teaching artists or cultural organizations. Funding is provided for in-classroom projects that focus on the integrated study of arts and non-arts subjects developed by collaborating classroom teachers and teaching artists. Funding decisions are based on a proposal’s ability to meet the program criteria and local funding priorities as they are outlined in these application guidelines.
