Deadline: May 14, 2009 (for projects beginning in January 2010)

Institutions such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositories, arts and cultural organizations, and town and county records offices are encouraged to apply.
Celebrate Arts Education Month in Your Community
Governor Christine Gregoire will officially proclaim this May as Arts Education Month in Washington State. ArtsEd Washington encourages your community to mark this month of celebration with a local proclamation or resolution.
Please ask your Mayor and City Council to take this simple step and show that they value the arts as part of a complete education for all students. School Boards, Arts Commissions, and other entities (e.g. Boards of arts organizations, PTAs, Chambers of Commerce, etc.) can also pass a Board resolution in support of Arts Education Month.
It’s easy! All you have to do is ask. ArtsEd Washington has made it even easier with ready-to-use templates available at www.artsedwashington.org. Download a template, personalize with a few community-specific sentences, and send! Or attend a Council or School Board meeting and make your request in person.
Don’t forget to let ArtsEd Washington know about your proclamation or resolution when it is granted. Email a PDF to asso...@artsedwashington.org. It will be posted on the Arts Education Month website, and included in the official report distributed to Governor Gregoire, key state and regional decision-makers, and statewide media.
