Artists in the Schools Grant Applications

Artists in the Schools Grant Applications Open

Public and charter schools statewide (K-12) are encouraged to apply for a Hawaiʻi State Foundation on Culture and the Arts Artists in the Schools (AITS) Program grant for school year 2018-2019. The program provides grants of up to $6,000 per school for a residency with a teaching artist from the HSFCA Artistic Teaching Partners Roster. The Roster has teaching artists in visual art, dance, drama, music and literary art, all of whom lead children in the artistic processes of creating, performing/sharing, and responding to or reflecting on their own and others' art.

With so few arts specialists in Hawaiʻi schools, especially at the elementary level, the AITS grants are an opportunity to give children a joyful hands-on experience with the arts. Through engagement in the arts, the program helps develop students' "21^st century skills" of creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration. Many of the teaching artists integrate their art form with other core curriculum areas, thus meeting both Fine Arts and other core standards.

In the current school year 2017-2018, 103 schools received an AITS grant. For ten years, the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation has matched AITS's state and federal funding.

Application instructions and forms are available on our website: Artists in the Schools. The deadline is May 1, 2018. For more information, call SFCA staff at 586-0768.

Poetry Out Loud Hawaiʻi Finals

Come hear high school students from around the state recite great poetry from memory in the Poetry Out Loud contest state finals, Sunday, March 4, 11:00am at Tenney Theatre (on the grounds of St. Andrews Cathedral). These students have competed and won at their high schools, and are vying for a chance to compete with winners from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in Washington, DC in April. A panel of judges scores each contestant on physical presence, voice and articulation, dramatic appropriateness, and evidence of understanding. This is the thirteenth year that the Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts has partnered with Honolulu Theatre for Youth to bring POL to Hawaii students. Hawai‘i has had three state winners go on to place second or third in the nation.

Art Bento Application Deadline March 9

Students then engage with the teaching artist in an artmaking lesson, explore "I Love Art Gallery" hands-on activities and tour the HiSAM galleries. There is no cost to schools to participate in the program. In addition, the program also provides funds for bus transportation to the museum. Deadline for applications: March 9, 2018.
