Who Should Apply?
Application Deadline: June 27, 2025
Up to 25 principals from across Maryland will be selected to participate in the first session. As part of that session, principals will consider a key partner from their school—such as an arts teacher, community school coordinator, or arts integration specialist—to bring to the second session to support bringing their shared vision to life.
Space is limited—this is a unique opportunity to reflect, plan, and grow through the arts.
