The Institute for Education and the Arts is posting information about the awarding of U.S. Department of Education Arts Education Grants.

U.S. Department of Education Awards $13 Million in Arts Education Grants
From the Americans for the Arts

"The 2006 slate of Arts in Education Model Development & Dissemination Grant awards was released last month by the U.S. Department of Education (USDE). The USDE awarded 34 three-year grants in 21 states. These grants stem from arts education funding, a focus of Arts Advocacy Day, as well as ongoing Americans for the Arts advocacy activities. Several Americans for the Arts members received grants, including the Hawaii Alliance for Arts Education, Tennessee Arts Commission, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Many other Americans for the Arts members are key community partners with grant awardees. This program provides grants that focus on the development, documentation, evaluation, and dissemination of effective arts education models that integrate and strengthen arts in elementary and middle-school curricula. For further information on national arts education programs, please contact Director of Federal Affairs Narric Rome at nrome@artsusa.org."
