Presenting Art Grants

Presenting Art Grants support projects that engage communities with the arts and humanities. Over the course of our program, the grants awarded in this category have included: Provosts Interdisciplinary Grants, which support exhibitions, performances, and other such happenings that enrich Penn’s arts offerings and make Penn a destination for the arts; and Student Engagement Grants, which fund departments, programs, and centers that seek to engage the student body. In 2018, Student Engagement Grants also supported student projects.
