CAG's Brand New
Arts in Schools Program The Chewelah Arts Guild is excited about its newest program, Arts in Schools (AISP). This program expands Arts experiences in area classrooms during regular school hours. A Registry of vetted local Artist Instructors and their projects allows classroom teachers to choose Arts lessons for their students that fit curriculum, student age level and learning goals. The program pays Artist Instructors for their classroom time. Assistance is available for supply costs related to the Arts project. Lessons and projects may include watercolor, collage, printmaking, murals, poetry and writing, clay, fiber art, movement and dance, photography, and music-making. Local field trips guided by the Artist Instructor as part of a specific project may also be included in the Arts in Schools Program. Lessons in this program will inspire young art students! Program Co-Coordinators are Gail Churape: [email protected] and Susanne Griepp: [email protected]. Click Here for Classroom Teacher forms On May 21, 2024, the ArtsFund and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation announced the 811 grantees of the 2024 Community Accelerator Grant program and the Chewelah Arts Guild was 1 of the 3 Grantees in Chewelah! We are excited to announce that we were awarded a grant of $7500.
Because CAG is an all-volunteer non-profit organization, every dollar of grant award funding will go directly into the Chewelah Arts Guild's community arts events and programs. The Rainbow Mini-Grant Program provides financial support for arts lessons, materials, field trips and projects. CAG's Scholarship gives a financial boost to qualifying high school graduates and adults returning to higher education to pursue the arts and work in arts education. The Arts In Schools Program provides funding for local Artist Instructors to teach arts projects in area classrooms. The upcoming Children's Arts Festival in the Park provides artistic fun to area youth. These programs are free to the community. This recent grant award will help the Chewelah Arts Guild continue its support for community arts events and programs that are accessible and successful. |
