A new year begins!
The start of the school year brings with it a surge
of energy, anticipation, and fresh
ideas.
It’s a great time to touch
base with your collaborators, supporters,
and leaders to remind them of your
successes and share your aspirations
for what you want to accomplish this
year.
Strengthen and broaden your
base, reach out to new partners, and
. . .
Apply for an
art$TART Grant
As
the new school year opens, make plans
to bring learning alive with the arts.
You can access information and the
application for the art$TART grant for the 2004 – 05 school
year online at http://www.arts4ed.org/artstart/index.shtml.
art$TART
grants of up to $2500 are available
to all public & private pre-K
thru 12 schools in Cayuga, Chenango,
Cortland, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison,
Onondaga, Oswego, and St. Lawrence
counties.
The
grants support community artists/cultural
organizations to partner with schools
in integrating the arts across content
areas & grade levels to meet the
NYS learning standards.
art$TART
is a matching grant – schools must
provide matching funds in a combination
of cash and in-kind resources.
Grantwriting
sessions
are held to simplify the application
process for you, and when needed,
to help identify the best artist or
school partner for the project. Sessions are being held mid-September through
early October in several CNY locations.
For a schedule, go to www.arts4ed/artstart/artstart7_calendar.shtml.
You must attend one of these upcoming
sessions OR contact PAE before submitting
your application!
The
deadline for applications is October 29, 2004. Funds will be available on January 3, 2005.
Around CNY
There are lots of exciting things happening in our
community – too many to list here.
If you’re looking for training
opportunities or other arts-in-ed
events, give us a call at 234.9911.
PAE is still
growing!
Partners for Arts Education now provides funding
and support for arts-in-education
both in Central New York and throughout
New York State.
To better serve both our constituencies,
we now have two divisions. Laura Reeder remains Executive Director and
fearless leader.
For questions about funding,
including art$TART and TAP, talk
to Sue Stonecash. Georgia Popoff handles the CNY Roundtable, extended
day programs, and other CNY concerns.
Connie
Walters oversees
network information and communications,
including this postcard and the website.
We have also hired RJ Rapoza,
most recently of Wayne-Finger Lakes
BOCES, as administrative director
for NYS programs.
All of us can be reached at
234.9911 or via our website, www.arts4ed.org.
We want to thank the New York State Council on the
Arts, Senator John DeFrancisco, and
Assemblyman William Magnarelli for
their consistent support for continued
funding for PAE.
