Chiaha's Arts Education Grants

2026 Application Opens September 11 | Deadline: October 19, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.

Supporting local arts education has always been central to Chiaha's mission. In 2011, we formalized that commitment by establishing the Chiaha Arts Education Grant to create a consistent, structured way to invest in local arts education every year. Since then, we've funded 65 arts education initiatives that have directly served nearly 37,000 students across Rome and Floyd County.

We are proud to support the teachers and organizations that bring meaningful arts experiences to students across our community, and we look forward to seeing what this year's applicants have in store.
