Artists in Schools--New Residency Grant Program from the California Arts Council

The California Arts Council is pleased to announce "Artists in Schools," a program designed to support artists in residency activities that take place in schools, both in the classroom and in after-school settings.

"The California Arts Council is dedicated to supporting arts education in California schools," said Muriel Johnson, Director of the California Arts Council. "The Governor and Legislature slated education funding specifically for visual and performing arts, and it is important that children work with experienced artists to augment the day-to-day instruction. The "Artists in Schools" program helps bring professionals to the school setting."
