1:12pm | Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe announce his 2012 Arts Education Partnership Program, as part of “Arts Education Week” in Los Angeles County. In its 11th year, the program supports high quality arts education by providing matching funds to non-profit organizations, community organizations, government agencies and schools across the Fourth Supervisorial District.
The Arts Education Partnership Program is designed to increase and sustain well-rounded education in dance, music, theatre and the visual arts for K-12 students. All of the grant applications that are received will be judged by a panel of experts from the various arts disciplines.
The deadline for organizations to apply for the Arts Education Partnership Program is Wednesday, November 9, 2011. A workshop will take place at the Manhattan Beach Library on Tuesday, October 4, 2011 which will provide an opportunity to learn more about the program. In addition, there will be information on Visual and Performing Arts Standards and best practices in lesson planning.
