Description

The purpose of the 2022–23 Arts Curricular Innovation Grants (ACIG) is to assist schools and districts in developing and implementing arts initiatives that support quality arts education programs that significantly improve student achievement in the arts. DAP grants provide funds for one-year projects. Successful DAP applications must indicate that the applicant will include all arts forms—dance, music, theatre, and visual arts—over a three-year period of their strategic arts plan.
