Arts Education Exposure - California Arts Council In 2016, the CAC expanded our arts education offerings to include the Arts Education Exposure (AEE) program. The purpose of the Exposure program is to support attendance at high-quality performances and exhibits for students who would particularly benefit from these experiences.
Students may be identified as priority communities for participation due to socio-economic status, geographic region, or other aspects of students’ life experiences that elevate the impact of having opportunities to engage with these cultural assets.
Exposure program experiences may include art exhibits and performances, field trips to arts venues, and/or in-school assemblies that are special presentations by arts and culture practitioners. Artists involved in this grant category will demonstrate the highest level of rigor and commitment to craft, and their work will offer deep cultural resonance with the student communities to be served.
Student artwork, whether prepared in advance or executed onsite, is not appropriate as the artistic focus of this grant category. The impact of student attendance at artistic events should be complemented by pre- and post-attendance activities, such as artist talkbacks, teaching artist workshops, and/or facility tours. Applicant organizations can request up to $25,000 for the one-year grant activity period.
The sum of requests during the same year of funding cannot exceed 50% of the total revenue from the most recently completed fiscal year for organizations with total revenue above $250,000 . No funding restrictions for organizations with total revenue below $250,000 .
Organizations may apply for only one (1) 2024 Arts & Youth Grant Program , including: Creative Youth Development Arts Integration Training No requirement for matching funds. Overview video coming soon. Virtual office sessions are available to provide technical assistance for the Arts Integration Training and Arts Education Exposure grant programs.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
On August 14, 2026, the California Arts Council approved nearly $24.6 million across 1,200 grant awards. Buried in the release is a rare thing: before-and-after data showing exactly how much the ranked-priority bonus moved the pool. Small organizations went from 53% of applicants to 72% of awardees. Geography moved 19 points. First-time status barely moved at all. Here is what that means for the 2027 cycle.
Read articleNEA's FY2027 Partnership Agreement Grants (2027NEA04PA) put $59 million into 56 state arts agencies with a September 29, 2026 deadline. No individual arts nonprofit can apply. But this is the channel through which most NEA dollars actually reach small organizations — and the supplanting rule and 1-to-1 state cost share determine how much reaches yours.
Read articleOn August 26, 2026, the NEA, NEH and IMLS jointly rescinded the disparate-impact provisions of 45 CFR Part 1110. No comment period, no delayed effective date, and an admission buried in the preamble: across FY2020 through FY2024 the agencies ran zero disparate-impact-only investigations. Here is what actually changes for grantees — and what does not.
