Funding
Arts for All enhances and amplifies the expansive artistic landscape of the University of Maryland while encouraging our entire community to meaningfully engage with the arts. Arts for All funding opportunities support a vast array of artistic activities—from dance performances to visual art installations to live music—to create an ever more vibrant and expansive arts community accessible to all.
Research Support
The initiative provides funding for faculty and student grants, fellowships and the Sadat Prize for Music, Poetry, and Art. Beyond campus, Arts for All expands its impact by partnering with local arts organizations and facilitating student participation in national conferences through partnerships such as the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru). This ensures UMD students have opportunities to engage with and contribute to the greater artistic community.
