The purpose of the 2019–20 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. Innovative Arts Works grants provide funds for one-year projects and are designed to support limited, small-scale, innovative arts projects.
