Grant Description: To raise the quality and availability of arts education in communities nationwide, the Arts Endowment created the Summer Schools in the Arts program. This program supports rigorous, challenging summer arts education programs that enable children and youth to acquire knowledge and skills in the arts as well as gain lifelong interests in the arts and culture. Summer arts education programs offer several advantages for quality arts learning by providing: Challenging and engaging arts education opportunities during the summer. Immersion experiences where students spend consecutive hours each day for multiple weeks. Comprehensive arts instruction that otherwise would not be available because of limited resources. A summer school in the arts is one that: Provides summer instruction in one or more arts disciplines. Offers a comprehensive curriculum where participants actively create and/or perform as well as respond to the arts. Culminates in public performances, exhibitions, or other demonstrations of the participants' achievements in the arts. Measures the extent to which students gain knowledge and skills according to national, state, or local arts education standards through pre- and post-assessment tests. Offers instruction to the same group of students over a minimum of 90 contact hours. May provide free or subsidized tuition for students of limited financial resources. Serves children and youth generally between the ages of 5 and 18. As part of this program, grantees will be required to participate in an evaluation and assessment training workshop. Each organization will send at least one person - either the project director or evaluator - to attend a one-day session in Washington, DC.
