This unique program supports 20 day to four month-long residencies by professional artists and performance ensembles at schools and school districts across the state. Any New Jersey school, K-12, is eligible. Applications from schools wishing to receive a sponsor grant are due March 15, 2001. Through the AIE Residency Programs, highly qualified professional artists working in a variety of disciplines and media are placed in classrooms throughout the state. Though AIE residencies focus on teaching the resident artists art forms, the programs are also designed to help ALL teachers interested in exploring new ways of approaching traditional subject matter and student learning.
Residencies vary in length depending on the discipline and the needs of the school.
They can be as short as one month and no longer than four months long in duration. Any New Jersey school, K-12, is eligible. The deadline for submission of grant applications is Friday February 18, 2000. Schools will be selected via panel review and grant award announcements will be made by April 30, 2000. Residencies will begin in the schools in September, or soon thereafter, in 2000.
