My friend who paints labyrinths on public grounds also gets small grants to help with the cost of materials and to pay for her time and the time of a helper when we are actually on-site. Some of the projects have involved teaching high school students how to create a labyrinth, but not all of them have a teaching aspect, and not all are for students. But the additional benefit in this case is the healing experience for those who walk the labyrinth. Don't get discouraged about the nature of these projects. Some artists get grants for a variety of goals they want to pursue. Every state has some sort of art council or art group that gives grants. Here is one state organization that gives you an idea for more general grants (the kinds of things that have been awarded). New Hampshire State Council on the Arts - http://www.nh.gov/nharts/grantsandservices/grants/ artistservices/indartistfellow.html They have an excellent section on the site called "Requirements and Responsibilities." Another site worth reviewing is: Creative Capital Foundation – http://www.creative-capital.org/about/media/2005-0205-awards.html This organization also provides grants for individual artists. A complete list of grantees, profiles of funded projects, and up-to-date grant cycle information can be found online at the foundation’s website at Write your statement and you can send it to me privately for review.
