Bring Artists to Your School

Our directory of talented teaching artists offers performances, workshops, and classroom residencies for students from Kindergarten through Grade 12. These experiences inspire imagination, build confidence, and expose students to creative opportunities they might not otherwise encounter.

Join Us in Our Mission

Each year, Spark Creativity enhances arts curriculum across subjects by pairing local artists with teachers for Direct Learning Residencies. These residencies foster deeper engagement among students, curriculum, and community. This year alone, Spark Creativity will reach 300 elementary students in the Edmonds School District and 50 high school students in the Everett School District.

Beyond residencies, we support student-led public art projects and artist mentorships, giving students the chance to showcase their creativity while offering teachers opportunities to learn alongside professional artists.
