Creative Curricula
Grants for arts-in-education
Hester Street Collaborative and P.S. 134 Community Garden
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 Manhattan schools and cultural organizations or individual teaching artists that focus on the creation and implementation of arts integrated units of study.
The program is part of the Local Capacity Building Initiative at the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), as a statewide effort to promote widespread participation in arts in education. LMCC was invited by NYSCA to participate in this effort and to administer this program.
How Creative Curricula Works
This year, Creative Curricula will award matching grants ranging from $750 to $3,000 to partnerships between Manhattan 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, taking place in the Spring 2012 semester or Fall 2012 semester. Funding decisions are based on the proposal’s ability to meet the program criteria and local funding priorities as they are outlined in these application guidelines.

Funding for Creative Curricula is provided by New York State Council on the Arts.
