Background: Each fall, the Picasso Project contacts public schools in Philadelphia to let them know that mini-arts grants are available to support projects in the creative, performing and digital arts. The grants support a school’s need to boost arts offerings, integrate arts into other core subjects, or use arts to improve school climate.

Eligibility: Staff at public (District–managed and charter) schools with no more than 2 full-time arts teachers may apply. Your school may have no more than a TOTAL of 2 full time arts teachers combined if you add together all teachers in art, music, drama, dance and digital media.  NOTE: schools that have received a Picasso Project Grant for 3 consecutive years must skip a year before applying again.

A school or community representative for each proposed project must attend a Grant Support Workshop or Conference Call before applying.
