Artists included in this directory have gone through a rigorous screening and interview process to qualify for participation in OAC Arts in Education programs. They are excellent representatives of their artistic disciplines and outstanding communicators who enjoy sharing their ideas, vision and expertise about the creative process. We hope the narratives in this directory will provide some insight into the world of artists, revealing how they think, why they create and why they have chosen to devote their lives to discovery, innovation and communication. Realizing that effective long-range arts programming requires careful preparation, we encourage local planners to go beyond the information in this directory and contact these artists to discuss ideas for local programming. OAC funds are available for arts in education projects beyond these residencies.
Residencies often begin the process.
The Ohio Arts Councli encourafges local planners to increase educational opportunities that nurture and guide their communities in the further appreciation and understanging of the arts, and to include them as and integral part of the education of all children. This directory gives the artists who work with the OAC Arts in Education Program an opportunity to present themselves to arts educators and others. The WebMaster is all ears.
