About this program

The Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC) offers Arts in Education grants of up to $6,000 to support arts education programs in Maryland schools, libraries, community centers, detention centers, government entities, and nonprofit organizations led by rostered teaching artists. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis through December 15, 2026, with deadlines on August 1, October 1, and December 15. Applicants must partner with a teaching artist on the MSAC Teaching Artist Roster, and the collaborating site must be a Maryland 501(c)(3) nonprofit, government unit, public or private school, or college or university that has operated for at least one documented fiscal year with ongoing arts activities. Each application must identify a site coordinator and a lead artist, and sites may participate in up to two grants per fiscal year.
