The UA&M Arts Education Program offers several funding opportunities aimed specifically at fostering arts learning opportunities in Utah.

These sponsorship awards are offered to support activities and events that provide training and professional development for Utah K-16 educators. Sponsored events should connect teachers and/or administrators with teaching artists. These events may be open to student or community participation as well. Review the AE Sponsorship Guidelines for more information about the types of events that qualify. Access the Sponsorship Application here.

CAEP is a funding model that establishes partnerships and collaboration in a community. Funded projects will create arts learning activities while making connections that make can continue long after the project ends. CAEP projects will bring teaching artists, educators and arts/cultural organizations together with other community assets, such as social service agencies, parks and recreation, hospitals, senior centers, correctional facilities, community centers, libraries. etc. To discuss your project idea and how it can qualify to become a CAEP project, please print this blueprint proposal form and use it to outline your project idea. Then contact [email protected] to schedule a conversation.
