| Professional Scholars Grant |
|
|
The Foundation will offer a $2,000.00 Professional Scholars Grant to art historians, critics and writers who want to write about those artists whose careers began in the 1940s or before, and whose contributions to the visual arts have been summarily dismissed by the mainstream establishment of art history. A list of artists the Foundation supports is included. In 2006 we are featuring William H. Johnson, Edmonia Lewis, Harriet Powers, and Charles White. |

To achieve our mission the Foundation is offering an Art with Kids Grant(s) to a teacher, teaching parent or graduate student who will present an art appreciation program(s) at a designated Host Elementary School(s). The Art With Kids Program is an art appreciation program with teaching kits for Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, and Jacob Lawrence consisting of:
- A slide lecture with Q & A (included in the Foundation Art Teaching Kit);
- Art making workshop limited to no more than 25 students (included in the Foundation Art Teaching Kit)
- A group trip so that the children can see the Master Artist's original works at a museum or art gallery (organized by the 2006 Art With Kids Grant Recipient).
The award consists of $600.00 for the slide lecture, art making workshop, and museum trip presentation on any one of the featured Master Artists; $1,000.00 for presentations on two of the featured Master Artists; $1,400.00 for presentations on three; and if a 2006 Art With Kids Grant Recipient completes presentations on all four Master Artists, the total award will be $1,800.00.
An additional stipend of up to $200.00 is available for miscellaneous expenses and supplies upon presentation of receipts. This year the Art With Kids Program may be presented to up to 4 approved host elementary schools for a maximum total of $8000.00. The dates of presentation are from September 2006 - May 2007.
