Wednesday, September 10, 2025 | 7–8pm ET
FREE for NAEA members; $49 for nonmembers

In response to the U.S. Department of Education’s renewed commitment to arts education, this informative webinar will provide public school visual arts educators with strategies to unlock federal and state funding sources for enhancing their arts programs. Join us to explore how federal provisions under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), IDEA, and Perkins V can support well-rounded, equity-focused arts education in your school.

Participants will learn how Title I, Title II, and Title IV funds can be allocated to strengthen arts programming, from integrating arts with core subjects to providing dedicated resources for English learners and students with disabilities. The webinar will also cover the new Assistance for Arts Education (AAE) discretionary grant program, which offers opportunities to fund professional development, instructional materials, and arts-based educational programming.

Upon completion of this NAEA webinar, you may earn 1 hour of professional development credit as designated by NAEA. Once the webinar is completed, you may view/print a Certification of Participation under the "Contents" tab. You may also print a transcript of all webinars attended under the "Dashboard" link in the right sidebar section of the page.  

Clock hours provided upon completion of any NAEA professional learning program are granted for participation in an organized professional learning experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction, and can be used toward continuing education credit in most states. It is the responsibility of the participant to verify acceptance by professional governing authorities in their area.
