Subsidies for Schools

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. 

For 2021-22, funding is pending. Schools may apply for a grant but they will not be awarded until at least September. Grants will only apply to one Artists on Tour session.
