Parent Teacher Artist Grant (PTA)
Target Field Trip Grant

Georgia Council for the Arts
Offers New Arts Education Grants


The Parent Teacher Artist Grant (PTA) allows for the funding of projects in schools that (a) arts organizations and arts education specialists to provide hands-on arts activities to students and that (b) contract with arts organizations that serve as field-trip destinations.

This grant was developed in concert with the Georgia PTA, which is also marketing the new grant and which has committed to the assisting in the raising the funds for the required one-third match for this $3,000 maximum grant in this pilot year. Schools are the applicants, but arts organizations and arts education specialists will be the ultimate recipients of the project's funds. The PTA Grant seeks to provide funding to engage students more successfully in learning, while also engaging their families in hands-on activities that will connect them to their community's cultural amenities thereby increasing the potential and capacity for learning and growing the audience for our arts organizations.

How can GCA assist the arts integration training for teachers provided by the state's single-discipline arts organizations? The Teacher Professional Learning Grant (TPL) provides for up to $200 per person in this pilot year for teachers participating in arts-in-education training that has been GCA-certified. The training can be Teacher-to-Provider, where the teacher travels to the arts organization, or it can be Provider-to-Trainer, where the arts organization contracts and provides for training for a full school at the school's facility.

For both grants, the school or teacher is the applicant. The deadlines for 2006-07 have passed, so please check the Georgia Council for the Arts Website: www.gaarts.org for information on the next round of funding.
