Today the National Endowment for the Arts announced their 2009 recipients for the Access to Artistic Excellence Design Grants. Architecture for Humanity has been awarded funds to support the 2009 Open Architecture Challenge on classrooms. These funds will help us outreach to primary and secondary schools in partnering with design professionals to create innovative and energy efficient classrooms for the future. We would like to thank the leadership and continued support of the NEA towards access to design education and innovation.
