Artists in Schools funding program available for schools

Information Sessions for teachers and artists about the Artists in Schools funding program are being held in June and July across the Victoria. The Department of Education and Training, funded Artists in Schools funding program provides opportunities for professional artists to work with young people in Victorian primary and secondary schools. Schools engage an artist for approximately 20 days to work with students and teachers, from any curriculum area, on a creative project. These projects may be in any art form and need to support learning across the curriculum.
