Opportunity Summary:
Picturing America School Collaboration Projects is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) that supports local and regional efforts to help K-12 teachers use American art as a tool for teaching core subjects and exploring the American experience. The program builds on the nationwide distribution of the Picturing America collection and encourages schools and communities to make deeper, more structured instructional use of its images. The central idea is to bring K-12 educators together with humanities scholars and other humanities experts so that students engage with primary visual materials in ways that strengthen historical and cultural understanding, not just art appreciation.
At the heart of the opportunity is the Picturing America set of images and related teaching supports, including the Picturing America Teachers Resource Book available through the program website. The image collection spans multiple centuries and a wide range of media, representing many perspectives and traditions. It includes work by early American Indian artists as well as well-known American painters such as Mary Cassatt and Jacob Lawrence, photographers such as Dorothea Lange, and architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright. NEH positions these artworks as entry points for students to better understand the diversity of American people and places and to connect visual culture to the nation s hardships and achievements. The program frames this learning through broad civic and historical themes: Leadership, Freedom and Equality, Democracy, Courage, Landscape, and Creativity and Ingenuity.
The grant s goals are focused on improving teaching and learning through collaboration and shared resources. Projects are expected to strengthen understanding of how major works of American art connect to significant events, themes, and topics in U.S. history and culture. They are also meant to encourage sustained collaboration between K-12 teachers and humanities experts who can help teachers integrate these artworks meaningfully into core instruction. Another priority is building local or regional communities of practice among teachers, creating spaces for educators to discuss and share effective ways to use Picturing America images. Finally, the grants aim to increase access to strong scholarly resources and primary materials that teachers can bring into the classroom to support richer discussion, inquiry, and interpretation.
Administratively, this opportunity was offered under Funding Opportunity Number 20101007 AP and is associated with CFDA 45.163 (Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development). NEH anticipated making about 20 awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $75,000 and no stated minimum (floor of $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide matching funds to be eligible. The original and current closing date listed for this cycle was October 7, 2010, with an archive date of November 6, 2010.
Eligibility is broad and includes a variety of public and nonprofit entities that could reasonably convene educators and humanities expertise for professional development and curriculum integration. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); and private institutions of higher education. In practice, the opportunity is designed for organizations capable of coordinating teacher-scholar collaboration at a local or regional scale and delivering resources and programming that directly support K-12 instruction.
For those seeking official guidance (from the archived announcement), NEH provided details and instructions through an Additional Information link at http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/PASCP.html.
