The Connecticut Office of the Arts is partnering with Connecticut Humanities again for the CT Summer at the Museum Initiative in 2023.
The Department of Economic and Community Development, in partnership with the Office of the Governor, Connecticut State Department of Education, Office of Early Childhood, and Connecticut Humanities, will deliver these financially accessible summer enrichment opportunities to families and children of all ages using funding provided through ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act).
These grants are made available to Connecticut museums to facilitate free admission for all CT children aged 18 and under and one adult caregiver between July 1, 2023 and September 4, 2023.
