ArtsNOW Receives Grant from Norfolk Southern Corporation

ArtsNOW has received support from Norfolk Southern to expand access to high-quality, arts-integrated learning experiences for educators and students.

Funding from Norfolk Southern will support a range of professional learning opportunities, including customized digital coaching, curriculum design, hands-on workshops, and artist residencies. Educators will gain practical tools to integrate the arts into core content areas, empowering them to foster deeper learning and innovation in the classroom.

Additionally, Norfolk Southern employees are volunteering with ArtsNOW at our 2025 STEAM Summer Camps in Atlanta, hosted in conjunction with the Georgia Tech Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) Expanded Learning Programs. Through these efforts, Norfolk is helping ArtsNOW ensure that arts-integrated learning continues to spark creativity and inspire success in every student.

“We’re proud to work with Norfolk Southern to expand access to arts-integrated learning,” said ArtsNOW President & CEO Pamela Walker. “Together, we’re championing the kind of innovation that students and educators deserve.”
