Teachers in both public and private schools may apply for mini-grants to support art experiences in the visual arts, music, drama, dance, or creative writing. Grant money can be used for supplies, teaching materials or equipment exclusive to the arts, tickets or admission to arts performances, teacher training workshops in arts education, or other activity that will enhance the integration of the arts into the classroom. The guidelines, eligibility requiremnts, and application form is available as a .pdf file below. Arts in Education Mini-Grant.pdf Arts Council Seeks Artists, Musicians, and PerformersThe West Point—Clay County Arts Council is putting together an Artists Roster to include and Golden Triangle visual artists and fine art craftsmen/women, musicians of all kinds, including individuals and groups, singers and bands, theatre actors and directors, entertainers, storytellers, dancers and dance groups. Those submitting application to be included in the Artists Roster can be professional or amateur, but must maintain a high level of artistic quality and make a significant time investment in their artistic disciplines through practice, performance, and production. This roster will be made available to the public for the purpose of expanding the visibility of our local talent and making the task of finding suitable entertainment for local programs and productions easier for those putting together such events. For example: The Arts Council might be interested in putting on a series of performances in the park. The Artists Roster would allow the board to have a broad selection of performers and would provide a contact person with which to discuss specifics to determine if the event is a good fit for both parties. Another example might be a bride looking for a violinist or harpist to play at her wedding. And class reunion groups are always searching for good bands. The Artists Roster application is available as a .pdf file below. Once you have completed and printed the form, please send your application to: West Point—Clay County Arts Council, P.O. Box 105, West Point, MS 39773. You will be notified of your acceptance.
