CAA Invests In Walton County Teachers To Enrich K-12 Arts Education Through Art For All Program

The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) is pleased to announce Art for All grants totaling $9,500 were recently awarded to Walton County teachers to support arts education and creative projects for more than 900 K-12 students. In decades of fostering creativity, the CAA has awarded more than $855,000. 

Fourteen Teacher Grants benefiting nine area schools, including Abadie Academy, Bay School, Freeport Elementary, Freeport Learning Center, Freeport Middle School, Seaside Neighborhood School, South Walton Academy, South Walton High School, and The WISE Magnet School were awarded. The purpose of the Teacher mini-grant is to enhance the visual, literary and performing arts experience of all Walton County school-age children K-12 in public schools, private 501c (3) schools, and home schools through funding for special enhancement activities established by a teacher.

“The CAA was founded on giving, and we are committed to making a deeper impact each year by funding arts education initiatives,” said CAA President & CEO Jennifer Steele.  “By investing in arts education, we’re enhancing classroom experiences and empowering young minds to think critically, express themselves, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. These programs reaffirm our commitment to cultivating a vibrant, arts-infused Walton County where everyone experiences the power of the Arts.”

Applications for teachers, students, artists, and arts organizations can be found and completed online at CulturalArtsAlliance.com/artist-resources. The next deadline for submissions is May 15, 2025.
