Apply for Arts Education Grants in India

India Foundation for the Arts (IFA) is currently accepting proposals for Arts Education from Government aided or non-profit schools across India for projects that seek to integrate the arts into classroom teaching and learning.

IFA’s Arts Education grant programme titled Kali Kalisu (meaning ‘learn’ and ‘teach’ in Kannada), has endeavored to make the arts an integral part of learning and the joy of exploration.

Over the past 10 years, it has enabled teachers in Karnataka to connect the lived experiences of their students to the syllabus in their text books through engagements with local art forms and cultural practices.

While building application skills that bring about cohesive intellectual and emotional development in children, the programme also hopes that the school becomes a centre for learning and sharing among students, teachers, administrators and the larger community.
