Opening Doors to the Arts for Every Child

The Community Arts Foundation created the Student Support Fund to remove financial barriers that prevent children and teens in Crittenden County from accessing quality arts education.

Many young people have the talent and desire to learn, create, and perform, but the cost of lessons, workshops, and programs can place those opportunities out of reach. This fund ensures that cost is never the reason a child misses out.

Your gift helps students ages 18 and under participate in arts experiences across music, theatre, dance, visual art, literary arts, culinary arts, and more. Funds are awarded based on financial need and are paid directly to local instructors and programs, ensuring your support goes exactly where it’s intended.

Every application is reviewed by the CAF Board, and instructors confirm attendance and use of funds, providing clear accountability and real impact.

When you give to the Student Support Fund, you’re doing more than supporting a program.
You’re giving kids access.
You’re strengthening local arts organizations.
You’re helping build a creative, confident community.

Your generosity makes the arts possible for the next generation—right here at home.
