Artivate Arts In Education Fund

Introducing the Artivate Arts in Education Fund

What is it?

Artivate is establishing an Arts in Education (AiE) fund to help reduce the cost of programming in communities by Artivate’s 25+ professional teaching artists. Support will be offered to presenters in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and northern Virginia.


When will subsidies be available and who will benefit?

Starting in Winter/Spring 2023, we hope to begin offering subsidies to cover 25% of artist fees for programming to public, private, and independent schools, preschool through grade 12, in the region, eventually expanding to include a broader array of community sites, including libraries, after the first year.

As we grow the fund and establish a consistent level of support, our goal is to offer up to 33% subsidization of program fees, with a cap of up to three engagements per year.
