The Kentucky Arts Council is now accepting applications for the 2025-26 school year for the Teaching Arts Together Grant.
With the Teaching Art Together Grant, teachers can implement one to 10-day teaching artist residencies in their PreK-12th grade classrooms. All artists have been carefully juried by a panel of arts education professionals and selected for inclusion in the Teaching Artists Directory. Residencies may be focused on a specific artistic discipline or explore cross-curricular pairings such as dance integrated into a math curriculum, new media integrated into a science curriculum, etc. See the program guidelines to learn more.
