Picasso Project

The Picasso Project was created to increase arts education opportunities for students in the School District of Philadelphia and improve the capacity of schools to provide arts education experiences. Grants of up to $5,000 for the 2007-2008 school year will be awarded to Philadelphia Public Schools for projects that enhance and enrich the integration of the arts into the curriculum and classroom, often in partnership between school teachers, artists from the community and local arts organizations. All professional personnel at schools that have no full-time art or music teachers may apply.
