Deadline: 01-Apr-21
The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA) has launched a call for proposals for the Project Grants in Healthcare (PGH) to provide arts projects that connect teaching artists with healthcare in hospitals or other healthcare settings such as hospices or community health agencies.
Teaching artists experienced in healthcare settings need to partner with one or more licensed healthcare staff to implement the project. Arts-based professional development with a variety of staff from the healthcare organization is also strongly encouraged, with a priority placed on experiential learning and job-embedded experiences. Funds can support artists’ and other arts professionals’ fees, mileage and supplies and materials.
The Project Grants in Healthcare grant category recognizes the new Rhode Island State Arts and Health Plan, a partnership with the RI Department of Health (RIDOH). This plan addresses the multiple benefits of the arts and health for populations statewide.
