Clarkdale Attendance Center has been awarded a $1,000 grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission to train teachers to use art in their curriculum and to bring in a professional artist to work with students.
The money is part of $1.1 million in grants the commission will award in 2003-2004. The grants are made possible by funding from the Mississippi State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
The Mississippi Arts Commission is a state agency that serves more than 1.7 million Mississippians through grants supporting programs to enhance Mississippi communities, assist artists and arts organizations, promote the arts in education and celebrate Mississippi's cultural heritage.
Established in 1968 by the Mississippi Legislature, the commission is the official grants-making and service agency for the arts in Mississippi.
