Artists in Schools offers schools a chance to enhance arts-related activities that are linked to educational outcomes through partnerships with professional artists. The aim of the program is to expand access to meaningful artistic activities, increase student engagement in learning, cultivate cross-disciplinary learning skills and attitudes, and foster a lifelong interest in the arts.
Artists in Schools - Projects provides support for collaboration between artists and schools to co-create an inquiry-based arts and learning project through their combined knowledge, skills, and experience. Projects are unique in their design and developed in response to the needs and interest of the school community while connecting to cross-curricular and cross-cultural outcomes.
Artists in Schools is a SK Arts program supported by funding from Sask Lotteries through the partnership between SK Arts and SaskCulture Inc. and from the Government of Saskatchewan through the Ministry of Education.
