To promote contemporary music education in K-12 schools, the Duluth Homegrown Music Festival proudly announces the first opportunity in its new grant-making program: Incubation Grants. Entering its 13th year, the Duluth Homegrown Music Festival will recognize the continued support of the Twin Ports’ unique music community by reinvesting in our youth. These Incubation Grants will be available to educators in public, private and home-school settings for up to $500 ($1,000 for educators who pool their resources) and can include instructional materials, textbooks, teacher training, field trips or any other expenditures directly related to beginning or enhancing an existing contemporary music curriculum. More information and an application can be found at duluthhomegrown.com. Applications are due Nov. 19, 2010.

Rock on, Little Dudes.
