President’s Message
Apply to Montana Arts Council to be part of the new Montana Teacher Leaders in the Arts project. This is a state-wide professional development opportunity; the goal is to develop leaders who can support other teachers in integrating the arts. Eighteen teachers from across the state will be chosen for this year-long project. You can read about the program in the current Montana Arts Council State of the Arts. Contact Emily Kohring,MAC, for an application: ekohring@mt.gov Grant applications for Artists in Schools and Communities Grants from MAC now have an April 6, 2015 deadline. Guidelines and applications can be found on the Montana Arts Council website. This is the BEST way to bring an artist into your schools - the funding was recently restored, so take advantage of this opportunity because we lost it for several years - and it's back!!
