ArtsNOW is thrilled to announce that we have received a $35,000 grant from the Thalia and Michael C. Carlos Foundation to support our continued growth and expansion as we continue to positively improve teaching and learning through the arts.

This funding will support ArtsNOW’s strategic priorities, including expanding our footprint and access in high-needs school communities, increasing the reach of our online educational resources for both educators and families, deepening our research, and strengthening our financial model and organizational structure.

“We’re honored by this investment in our growth. It allows us to reach more high-needs schools, deliver powerful resources, and keep innovating where it matters most—in the classroom,” said ArtsNOW President & CEO Pamela Walker.

The Thalia and Michael C. Carlos Foundation is a private foundation based in Atlanta, Georgia, established in 1980 to support initiatives in arts and education. ArtsNOW is excited to continue innovating the lives of educators, students, and school communities with the support of this foundation.
