The Artists in Schools program creates the opportunity for practising professional artists to work with young people in Victorian primary and secondary schools. It involves schools and communities in creative projects while providing students, teachers and artists with diverse and challenging learning experiences. The program generates innovative ways to engage students from Prep to Year 10 across all strands of the curriculum.

The Artists in Schools program provides funding of $5,000 for professional practising artists to work in a Victorian school for up to 20 days.

The Artists in Schools program accepts applications from Victorian primary and secondary government and non-government schools, including schools for students with special needs.

Funding application forms will be available early July.
