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.
