Grow the Arts

The Patrons are proud to offer the "Grow the Arts" grant to the Fine Arts teachers of Coweta County. All teachers within the Fine Arts department of any CCSS school are eligible to apply for this grant to supply their classrooms with needed items, or experiences, that do not fall within their allotted budget for the school year. Below you will find photos from previous grant recipients featuring students using supplies and instruments purchased through this program. We are proud to sponsor programs like these through patron membership giving, as well as corporate sponsors. For more information on how you can support these programs please visit Join the Patrons. Applications for the 2026-2027 "Grow the Arts" grants will be available during the Fall and Spring semester of each school year. The link to the application will be posted here during the open application periods.

Over $61,000 in Grow the Arts grants awarded during the 2025/2026 Season!

“So thankful for this opportunity! My students used the art supplies to paint in U.S. History, as well as to create ceiling tiles through our Ambassador program for Elevate, Guidance, Front Office and a few classrooms! We also made cards for a lot of different groups throughout the year and created a MakerSpace within the classroom!”

“We hosted a glass harp demonstration. Our students learned about the science of sound and pitch and were able

to hear Mr. Brien play the water harp, a unique instrument!”

“Thank you so much for the grant! We worked very hard to turn the materials purchased with grant funds into beautiful

tables that are much safer for our pottery classroom.”
