Through its annual matching grant program, the Artists-in-Education Consortium offers students and teachers the opportunity to engage in and learn about the creative process through long-term residencies taught by highly qualified professional artists.Any school—public, private and parochial—serving grades Pre-K through 12th grade is eligible to apply for a residency grant.
Learn how an AIE residency can help your school and district fulfill its goals and objectives for curriculum, professional development, and community connections through the arts by attending one of our free grant-writing workshops at any of the following locations. NJDOE Professional Development hours will be issued for attending. See AIE guidelines for more information:
