ARTS EDUCATION FUNDING OVERVIEW
The Miller Foundation believes that every child should have access to a well-rounded education that includes the arts. Because all Oregon communities and schools are not able to provide arts education opportunities for young people, we do fund arts education programming in a limited way.
You have a greater chance of receiving Miller funding for your arts education programming if your organization meets any of these criteria:
-
You provide non-school based arts education specifically engaging youth who face economic, geographic, or other barriers to participation.
-
You work in partnership with public schools to provide arts education where such programming would otherwise be unavailable.
-
You connect young people with professional teaching artists.
-
You provide culturally specific arts education.
Before you invest your time in completing our online application, we encourage you to contact a member of our program team to discuss your project. Examples of recent or current arts education Miller grant recipients include but are not limited to:
