- Friday, October 8, 2021 from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m.
- Tuesday, October 12, 2021 from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m.

About this Grant Category
Arts Residencies in Schools Grants (ARSG) support individual teaching artists trained in curriculum-based art techniques to serve students from communities that have traditionally received insufficient resources and that have limited access to arts education experiences throughout the school year. Teaching artists are required to collaborate with a classroom teacher to develop an arts program for students during the school day. The program must benefit students in a public or non-public elementary, middle, or high school located in Montgomery County.
The award amounts for ARSG range from at least $1,000 up to $6,000. The grant guidelines and application templates are available on the AHCMC website (https://www.creativemoco.com/grant/arsg/).
All applications and relevant materials must be submitted through the online SurveyMonkey Apply (SMApply) grants portal.
