About This Opportunity

The Craft-Based Education Grant supports previous Teaching Artist Cohort awardees in creating lasting, accessible educational resources that document and advance craft practices. Twelve previous Teaching Artist Cohort awardees will each receive $5,000 to document, develop, or improve teaching tools with support from a mentor over a six-month period. The grant encourages innovation and resource sharing within the community of teaching artists, with the goal of catalyzing craft communities through the creation and dissemination of tools and resources for teaching craft. Eligible project types include video documentation, written curricula, educational toolkits, inclusive learning materials, and other educational resources. Grantees will be matched with a mentor and participate in monthly virtual cohort convenings, with the opportunity to present their completed resources at a virtual public program hosted by the Center for Craft.
