The Kentucky Arts Council has accepted eight Kentucky artists to be added to the agency’s Arts Education Roster, a resource for teachers and community educators planning for an arts-enriched learning environment.
Additionally, two artists currently on the roster have had their eligibility approved for demonstrating and teaching another arts discipline. There are now 55 artists from across the state qualified and available to conduct short-term residencies in Kentucky schools and communities.
Acceptance onto the roster is based on artistic excellence, teaching and residency experience and the quality of proposed residencies, as judged by an independent panel of arts and education professionals through applications review and personal interviews.
The Arts Education Roster is also useful in identifying artists for community projects, youth-at-risk programs, early-childhood education, special education and lifelong-learning programs.
