About this grant
The Arts Pathways for Youth Success grant program, administered by the Tennessee Arts Commission, provides up to $25,000 to support out-of-school time arts learning programs for youth in grades PK-12 who have had limited access to the arts. Projects must involve professional artists as primary instructors and align with one or more strategies focused on arts education, creative sector workforce preparation, or positive youth development.
