Arts in Education program updates We are restructuring our arts in education programs to make way for a simpler, more direct process for schools to request visits by teaching artists and educational resources. As part of this transition, the cARTwheels and Arts in Education Artist Residency grant categories are being discontinued. A new teaching artist roster and step-by-step request process will launch in summer 2026.
Stay tuned for more details. Expanded scope for Project Support grants The Project Support grant category now includes a broader range of eligible projects. In the past, projects that focused primarily on children were not eligible under this category.
That restriction is lifted. There is now a Project Support—Youth Arts Education option to support arts programs for young people. Additionally, projects that were formerly supported by Military and Veterans Healing Arts grants may be eligible for funding through the Project Support grant category as a discipline-based grant.
(For example, if veterans will work with a dance company, apply through the Project Support—Dance category.)
According to the current listing, eligibility includes: Nonprofits, schools, and units of government in North Carolina; youth arts and veterans arts projects now explicitly eligible. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.

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Read articleOn August 26, 2026, the NEA, NEH and IMLS jointly rescinded the disparate-impact provisions of 45 CFR Part 1110.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.
Read articleOn 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.
