The Teaching Art Together Grant enables teachers to implement artist residencies in their classrooms. Teachers and artists work in partnership to design and implement the residencies. Residencies may be focused on a specific artistic discipline or explore cross-curricular pairings such as dance integrated into a math lesson/curriculum, new media integrated into a science lesson/curriculum, etc.
Purpose
- To support teachers in bringing professional teaching artists into Kentucky classrooms for one- to ten-day (four- to 40-class sessions) teaching artist residencies.
- To involve students and teachers directly in the creative process during an artist’s residency, and to integrate the arts into daily instruction through links to the Kentucky Academic Standards for Visual and Performing Arts or Kentucky Academic Standards for Reading and Writing (literary arts).
- To provide teachers with tools that will enable them to incorporate the arts into their classrooms after the residency is completed.
Eligibility Criteria
- Any teacher at a Kentucky public or private school that supports preschool through grade 12.
- Any representative of a nonprofit or public organization in Kentucky with full time staff providing education to minors, such as juvenile detention centers or residential group homes.
