What is an Arts Integration Residency?
Arts Integration uses the fine and performing arts as primary pathways to learning. Arts integration differs from traditional arts education by its integration of an arts discipline with traditional academic subject, such as math or reading.
Arts Integration Residency refers to a multi-visit program where the artist is in “residence” at your school for several days to several weeks.
