This program is intended to raise the quality and availability of arts education in communities nationwide. It supports rigorous, challenging summer arts-education programs that enable children and youth to acquire knowledge and skills in the arts, as well as gain lifelong interests in the arts and culture. As part of this program, grantees will be required to participate in an evaluation and assessment training workshop. Each organization must send at least one person–either the project director or evaluator–to attend a one-day session in Washington, D.C.
