& Tours for Students
Artists
in the Schools, a program of the Allied Arts Council,
offers cultural enrichment to students in grades
pre-K-12 in public and parochial schools in the St.
Joseph area.
The
program provides cultural enrichment for students as
they have the experience of watching the creative
process in action. They
discover artists as real people who possess talents that
they, too, can acquire.
Corresponding numbers from the
Missouri
Show-Me Standards (www.dese.mo.gov/standards)
are included at the beginning of program descriptions.
These were reviewed by our Arts Education Committee,
which includes classroom and fine arts teachers.
Any
teacher may request an artist by completing a request
form. Sessions are free to schools within the
St. Joseph
city limits, and only
$20 for schools outside of the city limits.
Contact the Allied
Arts Council for forms and availability information.
This
year features twelve artists with unique talents who
offer programs in a variety of disciplines.
As always, our artists are available to fit the
expanded enrichment needs of the classroom, and all
educators are encouraged to participate. Due to
budgetary cuts, our sessions may be limited for the
2012-2013 school year, so get your requests in early.
The
Allied Arts Council and the St. Joseph Public School
District are members of the Partners in Education
program of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts, working to foster partnerships among arts
organizations, schools and communities. Selected because
of a demonstrated commitment to the improvement of
education in and through the arts, the partnership team
participates in collaborative efforts to make the arts
integral to education.
The
Artists in the Schools program is fully endorsed by the
St. Joseph
School District
and is partially funded
by the Arts Fund of the Allied Arts Council and the
Missouri Arts Council, a state agency, and Target. The PTA Council,
individual PTAs, and local civic groups donate
additional support.
