Grant Description: By honoring excellence in after-school and out-of-school arts and humanities programs for young people through the Coming Up Taller Awards, we seek to promote a creative, engaged, skilled, and confident generation of young people. Each year the Coming Up Taller Awards recognize and reward excellence in after-school and out-of-school arts and humanities programs for underserved children and youth. Award recipients receive $10,000 each, an individualized plaque, and an invitation to attend the annual Coming Up Taller Leadership Enhancement Conference. We encourage programs initiated by museums, libraries, performing arts organizations, universities, colleges, arts centers, community service organizations, schools, businesses, and eligible government entities to consider participating. In its tenth year, the Coming Up Taller Awards support after-school and out-of-school programs that are tangible examples of the power of the arts and the humanities to encourage young people's creativity and to provide them with learning opportunities, chances to contribute to their community, and ways to take responsibility for their own futures. The Awards also celebrate the contributions that educators, curators, historians, scholars, librarians, and artists make to families and communities by mentoring and teaching children. The development of artistic skills and the study of the human experience, past and present, are at the heart of what these programs offer young people. These are places and programs where children learn about cultural traditions and the histories of families, neighborhoods, and nations. They learn musical, visual, physical, and literary ways of understanding, expressing, and communicating ideas and perceptions. Coming Up Taller programs reflect a broad range of goals and serve youth and communities in various important ways: job training, improved school performance, community development, and cultural preservation and rejuvenation.
