Details:
It is a juried list of artists who have expressed an interest in teaching in the schools, and who demonstrate the skills necessary to work as a teaching artist in a variety of educational settings. The overarching goal of the STAR is to serve as a resource to communities looking to support teaching and learning in and through the arts and cultures for Alaska’s children and youth, through connections to teaching artists.
Since the origination of the AIS program, ASCA has partnered with schools, communities, and organization to expand arts education grant offerings. These include support for short term arts experiences, arts excursions, community-based arts programs outside the regular school day/year, youth cultural heritage programs, and more. As ASCA arts education grant offerings expand, the STAR has become a resource for connecting schools, organizations, and communities with teaching artists in the implementation of arts education activity, beyond the AIS program.
