The Artists in the Classroom Directory (AICD) provides a list of practicing professional artists working in a variety of disciplines who are interested in working on projects with young people in a classroom setting. The AICD is a useful resource for educators, arts/community presenters, cultural programmers and others interested in engaging artists with this range of experience. It is also a valuable self-promotion tool for artists looking for these types of opportunities.
