NEA Foundation Grants Deadline:  Varies  

An example NEA grant project is for an environmental artist in residency called Art For the Sky. Artist Daniel Dancer can provide narrative for teachers (the grant needs to come from a teacher) to make it easy.  Noted environmentalist Bill McKibben recently wrote an article about what Daniel Dancer does. http://www.grist.org/article/2010-06-15-daniel-dancers-sky-art-climate-change-choreography/
