Arts for Learning K-12 Programs

Explore assemblies, artist residencies, and professional development designed to bring meaningful arts experiences into K-12 schools.

Led by a diverse roster of professional teaching artists, our programs engage students across grade levels, introduce new artistic disciplines and cultural perspectives, and support creative exploration alongside academic learning. From performances and workshops to classroom partnerships and educator learning, each experience helps schools foster curiosity, connection, and creative growth.

Artist-in-Residence Programs

Artist-in-residence programs bring teaching artists into the classroom for a series of hands-on learning experiences with students and educators.

Many residencies are arts-integrated, connecting the arts with subjects like math, literacy, and science and culminating in a student-created performance, presentation, or collaborative artwork.

“This residency was much more than the creation of a beautiful piece of art. Students were engaged in learning and translated that learning into art.”
