Medina County Arts Council is pleased to offer grant funding for Medina County educators to support arts-related projects for their students. See Below👇for Link

* Application Deadline: October 15, 2024
* Grants Awarded: November 2024
* Projects funded by these grants must be completed by May 31, 2024
* Follow-up reports must be submitted by June 30, 2024

Grants will be awarded for projects in disciplines such as, but not limited to, music, visual art, theater, dance, and language arts. Funding is intended to aid educators with providing innovative and substantive projects that might be outside of their administration’s budget, including supplies or fees for services. They are not intended to pay for regular classroom materials, or fund routine assignments.

Expenses worthy of the grants might be to fund a guest musician in the classroom, to pay for art supplies for a new or experimental project, or to purchase scripts needed for a special performance. In previous years, we have awarded several grants of approximately $400 - $800 each. We will try to fund as many projects as possible within the Educator Grant budget. We can fund complete projects or partial if your project is beyond our scope.
