The Office for Arts Integration (OAI) amplifies creative practice by embedding the arts within teaching, research, student life, and community engagement across all disciplines of the university. We offer funding opportunities through our the Office for Arts Integration Small Grants 2026 (for up to 15K), Office for Arts Integration Co-Sponsorship Awards (of $1000 each), and Office for Arts Integration Faculty Release-Time Awards 2026 that will cover one semester and can be combined with an OAI Small Grant award.
Illinois faculty, staff, and administrators are eligible to apply. All three grants/awards are on a continuously rolling deadline. Visit the OAI website (programs tab) for more information. Please share this with the faculty and staff in your department(s). Our office may be reached via email at artsintegration@illinois.edu.
