Bring unique arts experiences to our community.
We have been bringing working artists and students together to perform and create for over 40 years. Our Artist in Residency program brings hosts (schools, underserved communities) together with artists (working creatives who have education experience) to make a unique experience happen in our community at little or no cost to the participants.
Schools and other programs who host artists in residency receive professional staffing and instruction by regional and nationally known artists and performers, as well as materials and space for programming (if needed). Artists receive honorariums as well as an opportunity to talk about their work and development with interested students.
What are some experiences offered?
Craft, dance, folk arts, music, storytelling, theatre, visual arts, and more.
Who is eligible to host?
Pre-K-12 grades, underserved communities.
How do working artists apply?
Prepare images of your work and a sample lesson plan and fill out our artist application (lesson plan document and at least one digital image required)
Deadlines
Artists must apply by April 1st for program(s) in the following school year (August -May) while hosts must sign up for programs by the respective deadline, generally 6-8 weeks before the arts event.
