Downtown Tempe Foundation

The Tempe Festival of the Arts is produced by the Downtown Tempe Foundation. The Tempe Festival of the Arts has created a grant program called Art Supply Grants to provide assistance to local art teachers in hopes that we can nurture the next generation of professional artists and therefore participants in the Festival. Grants are given to Tempe area art teachers (and teachers who manage the art classes) to purchase supplies and equipment for their classrooms in amounts up to $500.

The Art Grant Program provides funds for Tempe art teachers & managers to fund:

Basic supplies such as crayons, colored pencils, papers, pens, glue, paint
Project based supplies for murals, mosaics, etc.
Supplies needed for visiting artists or residency programs
Equipment purchases for the art classroom
