Residencies
[ Please click here to see a listing of the 2012-13 residencies scheduled to date... requests are still coming in daily for Spring residencies, so check back often! ]
CGAIE’s professional artists are available to come
to your school for a variety of choices in residencies, special projects,
staff development workshops, after-school art clubs and other projects.
The goal of AIE artists is to introduce and engage students
in art projects not ordinarily available, while remaining relative to
their classroom curriculum.
Artist Fees for a one week residency are $600 or $35 per hour for Special Projects,
plus materials and transportation. AIE is also offering a Sequential
Residency option, which is a one-day a week for five weeks
residency for $750, plus materials and transportation. Schools frequently
fund these programs through their PTO, fundraisers, Title I funds, or
grants from private and corporate foundations.
CGAIE
Artists teach the following disciplines:
• Visual Arts (painting, drawing, sculpture, clay
and print-making)
• Literary Arts (poetry and prose)
• Performing Arts (dance, music and drama)
• Other CGAIE programs include Architects in the Schools, folk
arts through the Oregon Folklife Program, and film-making through the
NW Film Study Center.
We recommend scheduling residencies in the fall, or applying
no later than November 15th for a spring residency. AIE Artists are
typically very busy in the spring and if you wait too long, you may
not get your first or second choice!
Please read the following guidelines carefully…they
reflect our commitment to providing the highest quality arts experiences
at the lowest costs for students in our schools and communities.
