UArizona may submit one proposal per cycle and may receive only one Lifelong Arts Engagement Grant per fiscal year.


 

Lifelong Arts Engagement Grants support projects that foster meaningful arts learning experiences for adult learners of any age and/or intergenerational projects in community settings.

Lifelong Arts Engagement Grants support projects that…

• focus on learners across the aging spectrum,
• occur in accessible community spaces, and
• center arts learning practices.

Such projects should also…

• provide opportunities for creative expression in safe and nurturing environments, and
• utilize the assets of the community being served.

Projects may take place in…

• arts venues,
• community or senior centers,
• residential facilities, and
• other settings that serve adult learners of any age and/or intergenerational projects.

Arts learning projects feature sequential, hands-on learning through the arts to develop artistic skills, processes and creativity. Artistic and/or cultural discipline(s) may include, but are not limited to dance, literary arts, media arts, music, theatre, traditional and folk arts, and visual arts. Arts learning projects include specific objectives, outcomes and methods of evaluation that are well defined and relevant for the learners involved.

Organizations can request $5,000 to $7,500.

There is no cash match required for this grant opportunity.
