Past Grantees

Each year hundreds of schools design arts learning programs to fill gaps in arts instruction for their students, expand curriculum and teacher skills, and better sustain access to the arts for every student in every grade. Simply by participating in the application process, schools report improved teacher capacity for strategic planning in the arts and increased partnerships. We are honored to partner with the extraordinary arts teachers of CPS who design and implement Creative Schools Fund grants each year!
