Your school could be eligible for a grant towards a performing arts assembly from The Music Center!
August 26, 2015 :: Music Center on Tour brings the immediacy of live performance to schools across Los Angeles County. These performances reflect and celebrate the finest artistic contributions of the world’s cultures – from the colorful regional dances of Mexico to the pulsating rhythms of Brazil; from the exquisite music of the Middle East to the golden harmonies of 20th Century America. Assemblies include written teacher preparation materials that contain background information on the artist and the specific performance as well as activities for the classroom and connections to multiple curricular areas.
You can learn more about these performance at: http://www.musiccenter.org/ontour/
Funding of up to $500 is available for Los Angeles County schools
The two criteria to be eligible are:
- Your school must have at least 40 percent Free/Reduced Lunch Price students.
- Your school has not had a Music Center on Tour performance within the last five years. Schools that haven’t ever had a performance from The Music Center are also eligible.
Interested PTA leaders are encouraged contact The Music Center to determine eligibility. The funding will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis so a prompt reply is crucial. Contact Monk Turner at (213) 972-4310 or mturner@musiccenter.org.
A $50 administrative fee will be assessed for performances under the $500 amount. This opportunity is only available to public schools in the First, Tenth, Thirty-First, Thirty-Third and Thirty-Fourth PTA districts. The funds must be used in the 2015-16 school year. Funding is made possible by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
This message is being sent to all PTA unit, council and district leaders in First, Tenth, Thirty-First, Thirty-Third and Thirty-Fourth District PTA.
