Miami Music Project recently announced that it has been approved by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for a Grants for Arts Projects award of $50,000.
Every year, Miami Music Project has the opportunity to train hundreds of young musicians, who receive nearly 400 hours each of immersive and transformative music education through its free Signature Programs. This grant will support Miami Music Project’s programming, ensuring all students flourish musically and academically. The grant is part of an NEA initiative to award 1,135 Grants for Arts Projects awards totaling more than $37 million as part of its second round of fiscal year 2024 grants.
“Upon celebrating National Teacher Appreciation Week, we continue to find reasons to acknowledge and appreciate our teaching artists, who serve as critical educators and mentors to the children of Miami Music Project,” said Anna Klimala, Miami Music Project president. “Our educators combine world-class musicianship with social responsibility and sensitivity, making them key allies and advocates of every child’s potential. The continued support of the National Endowment for the Arts reminds us that our social impact remains meaningful nationally.”
Since 2013, the National Endowment for the Arts has been a crucial partner in advancing the Miami Music Project’s mission of fostering social progress through music education.
Grounded in the belief that nurturing our youth is foundational to cultivating a thriving society, the program steadfastly asserts that investing in children creates impactful steps toward building a sustainably prosperous society.
Through music education, Miami Music Project champions enhancing children’s social-emotional well-being, behavioral development, and academic motivation, instilling a sense of accomplishment that fosters pride within the communities it serves.
“Projects like Miami Music Project exemplify the creativity and care with which communities are telling their stories, creating connection, and responding to challenges and opportunities in their communities — all through the arts,” said NEA chair Maria Rosario Jackson, PhD.
“So many aspects of our communities, such as cultural vitality, health and wellbeing, infrastructure, and the economy, are advanced and improved through investments in art and design, and the National Endowment for the Arts is committed to ensuring people across the country benefit,” Dr. Jackson said.
