Arts in Education
***The Foundation's ARTS Education Committee is not currently accepting Arts Education Grant Applications. Questions?*** Financing arts-related initiatives, the Arts in Education Fund is designed to support fine arts opportunities for all students in the Oklahoma City Public Schools. The Arts in Education Fund supports multi-school and district-wide initiatives in addition to individual school and classroom projects. To date, more than $230,000 has been expended to improve arts integration in our schools.
Just a few examples of projects funded through The Foundation's Arts in Education program :
- Reusable basic stage kits for designing the scenery for theatrical productions shared among the District High Schools
- String Instrument Repair Workshop, including toolkits, for strings teachers
- Drama professional development and purchase of theater stage tools for six high schools
- Studio pianos, a baby grand piano and digital keyboards for District schools
- A new sound system for Northwest Classen’s auditorium used by numerous schools for arts-related productions
- Implementation of a Recorder Program for 3rd through 6th grade students
- Seed money for schools to implement the Oklahoma A+ School model
