The Cincinnati Arts Association offers and administers grants to help defray the cost for our Artists on Tour and SchoolTime programs. CAA also administers the Aronoff Center Rental Subsidy Grant that assists nonprofit organizations with rental cost of the Aronoff Center.
The Cincinnati Arts Association has limited grant funds for the Artists on Tour program. Grants are awarded based on economic need of a school and on a first-come, first-served basis. The amount of the grant will vary depending on the economic need of the organization and amount of funds available. Since funding is limited, grants cover a portion of the total cost and will only apply to one Artists on Tour session.
The Cincinnati Arts Association Ticket and Transportation Grants help schools pay for attendance and transportation costs to attend our SchoolTime performances. Grants cover a portion of the total cost to attend and are awarded based on economic need of the school. Moreover, funds are limited and awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. The amount of the grant will vary depending on the economic need and amount of funds available.
For 2021-22, funding is still pending. Schools may apply for ticket and transportation grants but they will not be awarded until at least October 31.
