Arts for Schools Grant Recipient

ArtsAVL is thrilled to announce that 14 artists and arts organizations have been awarded the Arts for Schools grant. The grant supports nonprofit arts organizations and qualified teaching artists in Buncombe County providing arts-focused performances, workshops, residencies, and field trips for K-12 students. This year’s awards span five in school programs and nine out of school programs.

Anna Kimmell, theatre artist and educator, will offer an immersive residency to fourth grade students at Johnston Elementary in Spring 2025. Students will build original narratives, hone language abilities, gain theatre skills, and express themselves creatively, connecting playwriting and performance to their English/Language Arts learning module. Funds will be used for artist fees and theatre supplies, including scripts, costumes, and props.
