Seattle Office of Arts & Culture Youth Arts Projects
Youth Arts is an annual funding program for arts education, beyond the regular school day, for Seattle middle and high school youth. Funds and technical assistance from this program help experienced teaching artists lead training programs and projects in all arts disciplines – from visual arts to theater to dance and film. Youth Arts prioritizes youth or communities with limited or no access to the arts. Funding awards range up to $10,000. Learn more about Seattle Office of Arts and Culture efforts to put the arts back in education for all students in Seattle Public Schools, at www.seattle.gov/arts. Submission deadline is February 11.
