Arts Funding and Assistance for Schools
We know that arts funding can be hard to come by. Here are some ideas for assistance.
TCT Ticket Subsidy Program

Title 1 Schools qualify for the The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s Ticket Subsidy Program for assistance to select performances.
Please contact Pam Young at pam.young@tctcincinnati.com, our School Coordinator, with any questions.
Ohio Arts Council’s Big Yellow School Bus
The Big Yellow School Bus program provides support for the travel costs associated with arts-related school field trips. Private and public schools (pre-kindergarten through secondary) and associations for home-schooled students may apply for up to $500 for transportation costs associated with educational field trips to galleries, museums, festivals, exhibitions and performances. Applications are being accepted and are due no later than eight weeks prior to the date of the proposed event. Grants will be awarded on a rolling basis for as long as funds are available.
Ohio Arts Council’s Artist Express Program
The Artist Express program allows schools and community organizations to collaborate with an artist for a short one- to three- day residency.
Summertime Kids and Learning Links
Allowing local K-12 educators the opportunity for creative, interesting, educational projects or events they would like to bring to their school or classroom.
Target Grants
It’s become increasingly difficult for schools to fund learning opportunities outside the classroom. To help, Target launched Target field trip grants in 2007. Since then, they’ve made it possible for millions of students to go on a field trip.
