How to Apply
Creative Schools Fund 2022-23
The Fall Creative Schools Fund application period is now closed.
Schools will be notified of their award status in mid-late December.
Creative Schools Fund grants target eligible Chicago Public Schools. They may be used to support in-school arts education residencies, teacher development, and capital projects to ensure dedicated arts spaces in a school. A school becomes eligible when they accomplish two tasks:
- They participate in the Creative Schools Survey
- The school Principal nominates an Arts Liaison who will serve as the primary point of contact for arts in their school.
Grants are allocated through a competitive annual application process.
Please reach out any time to ask questions, learn more, or let us know what you hope to see in future grant strategies!
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!
