Florida's Artist Residency Directory serves as a resource tool for school sites and arts organizations interested in conducting an artist's residency. The Directory contains brief information about each artist and his or her programs as well as where to contact an artist for more details to arrange a residency program. Artists are included in the Directory as a result of a peer review panel process. Schools and arts organizations funded for a residency through the Division's Arts in Education program are encouraged to select a Directory artist.
Artists submit an application along with artistic samples of their work.
Artists selected by a participating organization should expect to teach all aspects of their art form, to create or perform works of art so that participants may observe the creative process, and, where appropriate, relate their art forms to other curriculum areas. Artists may be placed in schools or non-school settings, or with a community college for participation as a Visiting Artist. Those participating at a community college site do not teach formal classes, but serve as community arts resources to reach civic groups, schools, recreation centers, elder care facilities, and other audiences in addition to community college students.
