Why Art in the Schools

Whether it is visible or performing arts, program planning is essential to a successful residency.

1)     Convene leadership team at school site;

2)     Determine the arts needs for your site; and

3)     Ask the following questions:

  • Do you want the artist residency to be linked with the academic curricula?
  • Do you want a “pure” arts experience (accessible arts instructions geared toward arts excellence)?
  • Do you want teachers to actively collaborate with the artist?
  • Do you want written curricula and follow-up lesson plans?
  • Do you want the artist residency to culminate in a final performance/gallery/celebration?
  • Do you want the artist residency to tie into an existing school event
    (ie International Day, African American History Celebration)?
  • Do you want the students to attend a professional production through our Performing Arts Series?

Contact Youth in Arts to select one of our Artist Residency packages (see below) or to describe your needs in more detail.
