The Leonard and Renee Minsky Fund for Arts Education is available the elementary schools in Washington County. Recognizing the important role the arts can play in a school’s curriculum, the donors established the Leonard and Renee Minsky Fund for Arts Education to encourage teachers in grades three through five to work with professional artists to bring the arts into the classroom and, in addition, to integrate a variety of art forms into the standard curriculum.
Up to five $1,000 will be awarded to Washington County schools. The application deadline is January 15, 2010. For more information please visit the fund’s website by clicking here or email Pam Cleghorn at pcleghorn@mainecf.org or call her at 761-2440.
In the past they’ve funded projects in pottery, puppets, dance, theater, murals, mosaics, etc. Next year January, 2011 it will be offered in Penobscot County. Even years for Washington County and odd years for Penobscot. What a great opportunity for arts educators in Washington County.
