Amid sweeping federal cuts to arts education funding, one Maryland nonprofit is stepping up to ensure that students across the state continue to experience the transformative power of the arts. Arts for Learning Maryland (A4L), which serves more than 150,000 students annually, has launched a groundbreaking statewide initiative: the Access for All grant program.
Backed by a $1.8 million gift from The Saul Zaentz Foundation, the new program will subsidize up to 80 percent of program costs for eligible public schools. With four application cycles each year, schools will have multiple opportunities to secure funding and keep arts programming thriving even in the face of shrinking budgets.
