Description

This grant category provides ticket subsidy funds to public school students for arts and cultural events. To implement this grant category, the Tennessee Arts Commission works in partnership with designated agencies across the state to reach every county in Tennessee. Rose Center will distribute funds to the following counties: Claiborne, Cocke, Grainger, Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins, Jefferson, and Sullivan.

The designated agencies identify area artists and arts organizations appropriate for public school students. These artists and arts organizations provide performances, demonstrations, and/or exhibits offered as field trips or in-school programs and mail student preparatory materials to teachers prior to their events. Artists and arts organizations may not charge admission for teachers, principals, parent chaperones, and other school staff accompanying the students.

If funded, the organizing teacher should inform the central office to expect a check from the designated agency. Please allow one month after the date of the award letter for delivery of a check for funds.

If a funded event is cancelled, the organizing teacher or principal must inform the designated agency within 10 working days from date of cancellation what new arts event presented by a participating artist or arts organization the funds will be used. Failure to reschedule or return these funds will be reported to the Tennessee Arts Commission and will jeopardize future funding.

Accessibility

Deadline

Applications can be accepted beginning September 12, 2007.  Any applications received before this date will be returned.
