5×5 and TAG support K-12 teachers and administrators in enhancing classroom instruction throughout the Fund for the Arts service area. The Fund for the Arts service area generally includes Bullitt, Jefferson, Oldham, and Shelby counties in Kentucky; and Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties in Indiana. Both 5×5 and TAG programs are directly connected to core learning outcomes and complement what students are learning in the classroom.
Teachers and school administrators apply through the Fund for the Arts online grant portal. Applications should be submitted by your school’s 5×5/TAG liaison. If you do not know who your school’s liaison is, or a new liaison is needed, please check with your principal or contact [email protected]. All applications must have principal approval before they are submitted. While a school is awarded the program grant, Fund for the Arts pays arts program providers directly for awarded programs and pays schools directly for awarded field trip bus funds.
K-12 school teachers and administrators in Bullitt, Jefferson, Oldham, and Shelby counties in Kentucky; and Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties in Indiana may apply for 2023-2024 5×5/TAG.
If you are interested in TAG but your school or county is not eligible this year, please contact [email protected] to explore ways that your school or county may become eligible.
If you have questions about how to complete the 5x5 or TAG application, please reach out to the Fund for the Arts ([email protected]).
