Specifications include, but are not limited to:The Arts Education Branch of the Los Angeles Unified School District has put forth a call for arts community funding in order to enhance, support, and amplify the efforts district wide of the Arts Education Branch. The arts allow students to involve their whole selves, stretching and challenging their sensibilities and critical thinking skills, and encouraging personal enrichment. In an arts curriculum enhanced by learning with and attending the performances of our community arts providers, students grow in their relationship and understanding of their place within our great city, our nation and the world. When community artists and organizations work directly in the classroom, it becomes a vibrant learning environment where ongoing access to the artistic and cultural treasures of the Los Angeles community is no longer unattainable. An arts education stewarded by a combination of classroom teachers, arts teachers, parents and a collaborative arts community guarantees students access to a world of creative thinking, learning and growing. The Arts Community Funding RFP provides incentive funding for the Los Angeles arts community to develop programming contracts that meet the teaching and learning goals in arts education for the district. Qualifying individuals, organizations, agencies, ensembles, and other entities will design, describe, and propose their services, fees, structure, and deliverables for the learning community of the District. All applicants who meet the criteria and requirements for the arts community funding may develop a contract with the district for arts education services, K-12, focusing on student learning. However, no minimum amount of work is promised.
