Teaching Artist Initiative
Queens Council on the Arts is pleased to
announce a new professional development
opportunity for Queens-based teaching
artists and artists who want to become
teaching artists. The Teaching Artist
Initiative provides extensive Arts
in Education training: how to set
education goals, develop a curriculum,
manage a classroom, budget projects,
plan partnerships, establish networks,
and so on.
The program will comprise four evening
workshops tailored to the specific needs
of the participants. The workshops will
take place in late April, May, and early
June. There will be a culminating
networking event in June.
To be eligible for the Teaching
Artist Initiative, you must be a
Queens resident and artist, demonstrate
a commitment to Arts in Education,
and be willing to mentor other
Queens-based artists/teaching artists in
the future. Full-time students are not
eligible to apply. Applications will be
evaluated by a panel of consultants in
the Arts in Education field. The

material postmark deadline is

Teaching Artist Initiative Application
High
School to Art School Portfolio
Development Program
The
High School to Art School Portfolio
Development Program
(HS2AS)
identifies and selects talented and
motivated arts students from Queens high schools and offers them significant additional out-of-school arts
training, portfolio preparation, and
guidance toward a career in the arts.
Instructional and guidance support for
artistically talented students in
Queens public high schools is currently severely limited. Most students are not
aware of the many careers in the arts
and the types of training which would
prepare them for those careers. Nor are
they offered the training and
preparation needed at the secondary
level that would allow them to compete
successfully for admissions to reputable
Art Schools that would train them for
these careers. The High School to Art
School Portfolio Program seeks to
fill this void for these students many
which come from underserved communities
or economically disadvantaged
backgrounds.

Summer 2008 is now available

Arts in the Schools Grant Program
The
Arts in the Schools Grant Program
supports creative arts in education (AIE)
partnerships among schools, artists,
and/or cultural institutions in the
borough of Queens in the form of
matching grants up to $5,000. The goal
of this program is to
build
capacity at the local level of schools
and their partners (artists and
arts/cultural organizations) to conduct
successful AIE programs that contribute
to school improvement by using the arts
to enhance teaching and learning. This
program encourages and supports schools
in integrating the arts (visual arts,
theatre, music, dance, etc.) with their
curriculum. All Queens public, private,
parochial and charter schools, grades
Pre K – 12, are eligible to apply for
this grant.

guarantee funding.
