Description
This grant, offered by the Kentucky Arts Council, enables Kentucky public and private schools (preK–12) and eligible nonprofits to host one- to ten-day residencies with professional teaching artists. The program is designed to integrate the arts into daily classroom instruction, directly engaging students and teachers in creative processes and supporting the Kentucky Academic Standards for Visual and Performing Arts or Reading and Writing. Teachers and juried teaching artists collaborate to design and implement the residency, which can be focused on a single discipline or multidisciplinary. The grant aims to provide educators with strategies and tools to continue arts integration after the residency ends, fostering lasting impact on school culture and student learning.
