School Grants

The Bath County Arts Association is proud to support Bath County students and educators through our Arts in Education Grants program. These grants provide funding for arts-related curriculum, activities, field trips, and supplies that enhance learning and foster creativity in schools and educational settings.

Our goal is to ensure that students of all ages have access to meaningful arts experiences that support academic growth, self-expression, and community connection.

  • Arts in Education Grants may support:

    • Arts-related classroom projects and curricula

    • Field trips involving the arts

    • Artist residencies or workshops

    • After-school or enrichment programs

    • Supplies and materials for arts instruction

    • Or other arts related projects

    Past funded projects have included school band programs, student art exhibitions, dance classes, family literacy and art nights, and arts-integrated field trips.

  • At this time Education grants are only available to Bath County Schools, not home school programs or other agencies. Other groups are available to apply for community grants if they are sponsoring something open to the public.

    You may apply for an Arts in Education Grant if you are:

    • A teacher, employee or administrator requesting funding for a Bath County School arts related project.

    Projects must serve Bath County students and have a clear educational and arts-based focus.

    • Grant funding is available throughout the year

    • Most funds are distributed at the beginning of the fall and spring terms

    • Funding amounts vary based on project scope and available resources

  • All Arts in Education Grant applications are submitted online through a Google Form.

    The application form includes:

    • Step-by-step instructions

    • Required questions about your project

    • Upload sections for any supporting documents

    • Links to download guidelines and additional information

    We encourage applicants to review all materials before beginning the form to ensure a smooth submission process.
