April 14, deadline for Youth Arts funding
The Office is accepting applications for the Youth Arts program, an annual funding opportunity that supports arts training for Seattle's middle and high school youth outside of school hours. The program provides funding in all artistic disciplines. Funding awards range from $1,500 to $10,000. Projects must take place between September 2009 and September 2010. Application deadline is Tuesday, April 14.
Individual artists, arts/cultural organizations or groups and youth-service agencies with nonprofit status or fiscal sponsorship are eligible to apply. Priority is placed on serving youth or communities with limited access to arts and culture. The application and guidelines are available here.
