The AWE Impact
“AWE has helped our program a ton. They have provided instruments and equipment to our groups, but also been an advocate to help our programs stay strong and supported.
Arts Fest is also a one-of-a-kind event in this county that brings all the arts together, which has been an amazing thing for our school system.”
In just the past 3 years, AWE has distributed over $41,000 to arts classrooms in the six Western Albemarle schools.
2022-23 13 grants awarded, for a total of $20,691
2019-20 11 grants awarded, for a total of $11,202
2018-19 a total of $9,836 awarded to arts teachers
