Join Us in Our Mission

We aim to enhance arts curriculum across subjects by pairing local artists with teachers for classroom-based Direct Learning Residencies. These residencies foster deeper engagement and connection among students, curriculum, and community. Each year, about 80% of students participate in over 20 residencies district-wide, reflecting our community’s high value on the arts.

Additionally, we support student-created Public Art Projects and Artist Mentorships, allowing teachers to expand their artistic skills by working directly with master teaching artists.
