GRANTS FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIAN SCHOOLS

Artists In Schools (AIS) is a long-running schools arts residency program. It was established to encourage students’ participation in the arts and develop their appreciation of it through creative interaction with a professional arts practitioner.

Artists in Schools funding means that South Australian Schools can apply to Carclew Youth Arts for:

• Financial support towards an AIS project, to take place in your school in the coming calendar year;
• A contribution towards artist fees (up to $2,750) and, in the case of regional schools, a contribution to travel costs and a living away allowance;
• Support for arts projects in any or more than one artform which does not need to be complex in nature or large in size.

AIS is designed to provide students and school communities with first-hand experience of the work of a professional artist by:

• seeing a professional artist at work and learning about the artist’s role in the community.
• working with a professional artist on an arts project; and
• learning about the artistic process.

AIS also strengthens the role of the arts in the school community by:

• encouraging students’ involvement in the creative process;
• providing opportunities for students to gain new skills;
• providing opportunities that may help students’ confidence, sense of identity and self-esteem;
• promoting the value of the arts; and
• enriching and adding new perspectives to the school’s existing arts curriculum in line with the South Australian Curriculum Standards and Accountability Framework.

There is one funding round offered each year with applications for 2011 projects closing:
