The Maine Alliance for Arts Education (MAAE) and the Maine Community Foundation (MaineCF) announce the third round of the Maine Arts Teachers Fellowship Program. The program supports personal artistic development of Maine K-12 teachers in all arts disciplines.
Through this fellowship program, theater, music, dance, visual art and creative writing teachers have the opportunity to interact with professional artists in their fields.
The Maine Alliance for Arts Education anticipates awarding eight $5,000 fellowships for 2009. MAAE will accept preliminary project proposals until November 28, 2008, after which selected applicants will be invited to apply for a fellowship. Application information for the fellowships and a list of 2007 and 2008 fellows and their projects are available on MAAE's website, www.maineartseducation.org.
The Maine Arts Teachers Fellowship Program is modeled after the New York City-based Surdna Foundation's Arts Teachers Fellowship Program. The Surdna Foundation and individual MaineCF donors have provided the financial support to launch the program.
The Maine Alliance for Arts Education is a statewide nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen education in all of the arts for all Maine students. MAAE is a member of the Kennedy Center Alliance for Arts Education Network.
