Reminder! Apply for Artists in the Classroom Grants by May 28, 2015

There's just one week left to submit your applications for Artists in the Classroom grants! Teachers, principals and PAC representatives from schools across British Columbia are invited to apply for funding to support professional artists working with young people in the classroom. The deadline to apply is May 28, 2015, for projects that take place during the 2015/2016 school year.

Artists in the Classroom grants support projects that put students in direct contact with professional artists to support rich learning experiences in the classroom.

AIC grants support projects in schools across BC that demonstrate artistic excellence, strong curricular connections, high levels of student engagement and an active partnership between an educator and a professional artist.

Grants of up to $3,500 for small to medium scale projects, and grants of up to $10,000 for large scale projects are available.

If you're new to artist residencies, watch this video highlighting one example of a successful AIC project:
