K-12 Residencies
Support the learning of any topic through a series of in-depth, artist-led workshops
K-12 Residencies
Artist-in-residence programs engage students in creative, hands-on experiences through a series of in-depth classroom visits from teaching artists who work alongside educators and students.
Many residencies are arts-integrated, connecting skills and concepts in the arts with those in math, literacy, science, and more—like exploring math and music by writing poetry with algebra terms or handcrafting a mural depicting your local ecosystem.
