Arts Grants for Teachers

Lafayette Parish  |  Vermilion Parish

Inspiring Creativity in the Classroom

The Arts Grants for Teachers program supports educators in bringing the arts to life in their classrooms. Designed to spark innovation and creativity, these grants encourage teachers to design projects that actively engage students in the visual and performing arts.

These projects can help to develop understanding and appreciation of the arts, complement other arts-related activities already implemented in the schools, provide direct student involvement in the arts, develop permanent arts resources, integrate arts into other academic disciplines or provide support for teachers to become more proficient in the arts.

This grant is available to all Lafayette Parish & Vermilion Parish educators.
