    ​Creative Arts Curriculum​ Program

    Launched in Spring 2022, the Creative Arts Curriculum Program is an educational Artist-in-Residence initiative in collaboration with local education agencies based in Phoenix. 

    The program uses the arts, including creative writing, visual arts, and other disciplines, to get students excited and engaged about learning. Working closely with teachers, district specialists, and department staff, local artists create lesson plans, develop training, and provide in-person instruction to help students achieve district standards and goals.​​

    The guidelines and application for the 2025 program will be available in late Spring.
