Artists in Schools provides opportunities for professional artists to work with young people in Victorian primary and secondary schools. Funding is provided for schools to engage an artist for up to 20 days to work with students and teachers on a creative project, which may be in any art form.
The program is delivered through a partnership between the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) and Arts Victoria.
Due to a delay in confirming funding, DEECD and Arts Victoria are conducting a revised program for the 2012 school year:
- proposals for projects in 2012 will be by invitation only
- DEECD is identifying schools to be offered invitations in September 2011
- Arts Victoria will match invited schools with artists who have participated in successful Artists in Schools projects.
Details of the 2013 Artists in Schools funding round are yet to be finalised. To receive updates as they become available, email peng.foong@dpc.vic.gov.au with 'AIS Update' in the subject line.
