Why is Target’s store grant program now placing an emphasis on Arts Education instead of Arts Accessibility?
Our commitment to making the arts affordable and accessible for children and families remains unchanged. We will continue to support arts organizations, though we are shifting the focus of our Store Grant Program slightly from ‘Arts Accessibility to ‘Arts and Culture in Schools’. This means that all Store Grant Program funded arts programs must now have a curriculum component. Programs can take place either inside or outside of schools. At the National level, we will continue to sponsor Arts Accessibility programs nationwide, including our sponsorship of free and reduced price access to arts and cultural events.
