EXHIBITIONS: CCA@CCA Faculty Grants - Fall 2026
Ends on
Apply now to receive up to $1000 in grant support for your fall 2026 course efforts tied to voting and democratic engagement.
Creative Citizens in Action (CCA@CCA) Faculty Grants support the implementation of small-scale, immediate, public-facing events, projects, or activations that aim to improve students' learning experience and provide opportunities for them to practice creative activism. Projects must result in a public outcome that can be featured in the Creative Citizens Program Series, on social media, and across online platforms.
In fall 2026, we are looking for projects related to voting and democratic engagement, timed in connection with the United States Midterm Election on November 3rd. We encourage activities before the election, though projects later in the semester are welcome if connected to democratic engagement. Your project may take a point of view, but please remember that CCA, as an institution, is committed to nonpartisan political dialogue.
All faculty who are actively teaching at CCA in spring 2026 are invited to submit proposals.
DEADLINE: August 27, 2026
AWARDED BY: September 2, 2026
AMOUNTS: Up to $1000 (Between $500–1000 based on proposed budget is typical)
