About Artist-in-Education Grants

The Artist-in-Education (AiE) Grant program was developed to complement school curriculum by providing opportunities for hands-on experiences in the arts that might not otherwise take place and to foster excellence, diversity, and vitality in arts offerings for Howard County students and residents. The program also aims to broaden opportunities for Howard County students, artists and arts organizations and increase the availability of arts activities in Howard County.
