Application

Update (3/11): we currently have a backlog of applications. It might take us a while to get back to you. Thanks for your patience. At this time, our lesson programs are full. If you apply, we will add you to a waiting list and contact you once there is an opening. We also have a $300 limit on assistance at this time. Thanks for your interest in applying for a musical instrument, art supplies, and creative instruction. CAC assists K-12 student artists and musicians in Maine and New Hampshire ONLY. You can apply as a student or on behalf of a student as a parent, teacher, or school administrator. Please read the information below before applying.

  • Eligibility: CAC only serves students actively enrolled in a K-12 school in Maine and New Hampshire, and these students must be between the ages of 5-19.

  • Verification: Please provide the name of a school teacher or administrator (principal, vice principal, dean, or guidance counselor) with whom we can follow up to verify your enrollment. We will follow up with this contact to verify your enrollment. If you or your child is homeschooled, we will still need the name of a school contact.

  • Limits on Funding: As a general rule, CAC limits students who apply for materials (instruments, art supplies, cameras, other creative gear) to $500 per calendar year. Currently, our funding is limited to $300 per student.

  • IMPORTANT: If approved, AFTER you receive your instrument, art supplies, or creative materials, please have your parent text or email a photo of yourself (if you are under 18) holding the instrument or art supplies to 207-251-9196 or info@continuumarts.org. By sending us your or your student's photo, you agree to allow its use for publicity purposes only.

How can we help you? Please check each box that applies to your interests and needs, and then provide specific information for each.

I am interested in a specific instrument or artistic material.
I am interested in taking art, music, dance, or theater classes. This might include taking lessons or attending a workshop or camp experience.

Please email a photo or video of you holding your instrument, creating something with your art supplies, or a photo of you taking lessons to info@continuumarts.org. This is important and will allow us to help other students.
