Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Kansas Teaching Artists
The Teaching Artist Cohort grant, funded by Banking Institution, aims to support mid-career craft artists in Kansas by providing a one-time, unrestricted grant of $10,000 and an 8-month cohort experience. The primary target outcomes for Kansas applicants are to enhance their artistic practice, develop their teaching skills, and contribute to the state's creative economy. The Kansas Department of Commerce, which oversees various grant programs for businesses and nonprofits, recognizes the importance of the creative sector in driving economic growth and community development.
Measuring Success in Kansas' Creative Sector
The success of this grant program will be measured by the impact it has on the teaching artists' ability to sustain a generative practice as both artists and educators. Key performance indicators may include the number of artists who continue to teach and create art, the development of new arts programs or curricula, and the overall growth of the creative sector in Kansas. The state's unique blend of rural and urban areas, including the frontier counties in western Kansas, presents both opportunities and challenges for teaching artists. For instance, artists in these areas may need to be more entrepreneurial in seeking out opportunities and resources, while those in urban areas like Kansas City may have more access to established arts organizations and networks.
Aligning with Kansas' Economic Development Goals
The Teaching Artist Cohort grant aligns with the state's economic development goals, which prioritize innovation, entrepreneurship, and workforce development. By supporting mid-career craft artists, the grant program is investing in the creative talent that drives Kansas' quality of life and attracts businesses and visitors to the state. The grant program is also complementary to other initiatives in Kansas and neighboring states, such as the Colorado Creative Industries' grants program, which supports artists and creative businesses in Colorado. As Kansas continues to grow and evolve, initiatives like the Teaching Artist Cohort grant will play a critical role in fostering a thriving creative sector.
