How Baby ArtsPlay™ is funded

The Baby ArtsPlay!TM program is supported in part by the State of Delaware, and the Delaware Division of the Arts in partnership with the National Endowment of the Arts. Additionally, thanks to public and private foundations, DiAE can offer these residencies at a subsidized cost to Head Start and early learning centers.
