The Starkville Area Arts Council supports arts in education through its annual grant program, which awarded nearly $5,000 to teachers in the Starkville Oktibbeha Consolidated School District during the 2014-2015 school year to fund innovative projects incorporating the visual arts, music, theatre, dance, or literature in the curriculum.
The SAAC will begin accepting grant applications for the 2015-16 school year on September 21. Teachers and administrators in grades K-12 may apply. Grants range from $200 to $500 depending on the project and numbers of students involved.
