Work flexibly with an artist educator in residence to enrich curriculum delivery, develop skills and embed a creative culture in your school. A residency can be anything from a few weeks to a full academic year and beyond, working with an artist regularly.
“Working with artists has re-invigorated both myself and my teaching.”

Artist Educator Residency
An artist educator residency can introduce a range of artistic practices or support specific skills gaps in your curriculum. They provide an opportunity to upskill staff, as well as students, to improve the school’s arts offer.
Providing regular access to a professional artist supports students’ understanding of creative careers, and encourages young people to pursue these interests.
“Students have become more committed in wanting to pursue creative learning and careers. A number have joined other extra curricular arts and fashion projects.”
