Learning environments that excite imaginations, foster creativity and emphasize quality.

The Idaho Commission on the Arts believes its investment in the arts is crucial to achieving our desired future. Working in the arts and with artists develops skills, knowledge and ways of thinking that allow us to address complexity and foster creative approaches to living. Working deeply in an arts discipline is an important way to understand the power of the arts.

Artists in Residence are one way to discover that power. Residencies sponsored by Idaho Commission on the Arts' Arts Education Project www.arts.idaho.gov/grants/aeoverview.aspx and QuickFunds grants are designed to:

Reveal connections across disciplines
Inspire reflection and refinement in developing teaching artistic work
Connect to human values
Tap into the unique expressive qualities of the arts
Rejuvenate the human spirit

The Directory of Teaching Artists is a listing of Idaho teaching artists who are available to work in schools as Artists in Residence. Teaching artists included in this directory have been through a rigorous screening process and require no additional support material to be included on an ICA grant application. They are excellent representatives of their artistic disciplines and outstanding communicators who enjoy sharing their ideas, vision, and expertise in the creative process with a wide variety of audiences.

Ideas for projects are endless. As you read the Idaho Commission on the Arts’ Directory of Teaching Artists, i m a g i n e t h e p o s s i b i l i t i e s that will bring new life to your curriculum and programs.
