Visual Arts Scholarship Program

The Art in Action Visual Arts Scholarship Program aims to bring art education to more students in the United States. The program makes it affordable for schools to experience a quality art program for a group of students during the school year 2011-12. The scholarship program fully subsidizes the art materials from Art in Action, while the school pays the license fee to access the online curriculum including teacher training videos. See a sample lesson.
