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.
Eligibility
Student Ticket Subsidy is supported by funds
from the State of Tennessee General Assembly and are limited to
Tennessee public schools (pre-school through 12th grade).
Accessibility
No person on the ground of race, color,
national origin, disability, age, religion or sex shall be
excluded from participation in, or be denied benefits of, or
otherwise be subject to discrimination of services, programs and
employment by the Commission and its contracting agencies.
Deadline
Applications can be accepted
beginning September 15, 2009.
Applications received before this date will not be accepted.
Note: Given the competitive nature of the
Student Ticket Subsidy program, applications with the greatest
impact will be weighted favorably.
Applications will continue to be accepted
until funds are depleted or June 1, 2010, whichever comes first.
