DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (CAH) seeks District-based arts organizations and teaching artists experienced in offering programming for children and youth to deliver arts workshops as part of a two-month-long celebration of the arts during the Winter/Spring of 2025.
Celebrate the Creative Spark! is designed to meet CAH’s goal of developing the creative capacity of children, youth, and Seniors in the city. Participating arts organizations and individual teaching artists will have the opportunity to build new relationships with schools or senior centers and share the process and value of their work with them.
Workshops will take place in DC Public, Public Charter Schools, and Senior Centers across all eight wards of the city and will reflect the process-driven activities done in arts classrooms, and senior centers alike that build the creative skills of students and senior participants. The unit plan should consist of three individual lessons for the same class/group of participants. It should represent an arc moving from process through product, building on students’ ideas and building their “creativity quotient”.

Application Deadline: Monday | December 30, 2024 | 5 pm
Award recipients must implement programming between February and May 2025. Incomplete or late proposals will be automatically deemed ineligible for review and funding.
