Remember the ARRA and the promise of arts funding? A lot of funding from the ARRA has gone to sustaining existing arts education. However, there were also new opportunities in this act. Although this website from the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies is a bit wordy, it may be worth an artist or arts organization's time to scan through this stuff. The page outlines different areas of government funding and how some of that money could be used for the arts. Here are a couple blurbs from the page that seemed especially promising to me:
Transportation Enhancements: States have different emphases with these projects, but they can include "landscaping design, street furniture, lighting, public art, historic preservation, and gateways. State arts agencies have developed experience working in partnership with state departments of transportation on joint projects funded by the TE program."
Elementary and Secondary Education: "These funds can always be used to support arts education."
