Artists and Education Funding

Overview of the Artists and Education Funding program:

This funding supports Alberta schools by subsidizing fees of professional Alberta artists of any artistic discipline that provide interactive arts residency projects for grades K-12. Also, this aims to engage either an Alberta-based individual artist, or a group of artists working together in any artistic discipline who has school residency experience to deliver a program, to provide students access to Alberta's professional artists and their work, to provide an opportunity for students to observe and actively participate in the creative process, and encourage students to discover and express their creative potential.
