Outreach Expansion Project 🥳

Our Board has been hard at work this summer to conceive new ways to assist our community of art and music teachers. We’re happy to announce that as of today, we are expanding our field trip program to include charter schools and nonprofit groups that promote educational arts programs as part of our Outreach Expansion Project.

Taking effect for the 2022-23 school year, eligible schools and groups can receive support from our grant funding and attend live cultural events as we strive to encourage further exploration of art and music for our Alachua County youth.

Application to the grant has been sent to the following schools and non-profit organizations serving elementary students:

Elementary Charter Schools:

  • Alachua Learning Center, Boulware Springs, Caring and Sharing Learning School, Te Einstein School, Expressions Learning Arts Academy, Healthy Learning Academy, Micanopy Area Cooperative School, One Room School House Project

Other Non Profits:

  • YMCA, Boys/Girls Club, Cultural Arts Coalition

More details to come!
