Artists in the Schools

The SFCA Art in Public Places Program now funds Artists in the Schools (AITS) grants statewide. The goal is to increase students' appreciation of, and engagement with, the permanent works of art at their school. Schools that have an eligible SFCA Permanent Work of Art (PWA) are eligible to apply. The emphasis for AITS APP PWA arts residencies is on interpreting the PWA by means of the art forms.

All public school and public charter schools statewide are eligible to apply for an arts residency grant annually. A residency consists of 5 to 8 or more sessions by the teaching artist with the same core group of students. The learning experiences must support the Fine Arts Standards from the Department of Education Hawai‘i Content and Performance Standards III. Schools must use a teaching artist from the SFCA's Artistic Teaching Partners Roster. The roster is updated annually before each call for AITS applications.

Application deadline: Thursday April 4, 2019, 4:00 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time.

Art Bento at HiSAM

The Art Bento Program @ HiSAM is a four-part standards-based museum education program developed for State of Hawaiʻi Department of Eduation (DOE) Oʻahu second through sixth grade students and their teachers. This unique educational experience emphasizes fine arts literacy and is led by qualified teaching artists from the SFCA's Artistic Teaching Partners (ATP) roster. The theme, "Responding to Art," is supported by an introductory professional development session for teachers. The program continues in the classroom with the Teaching Artist leading a pre-visit lesson. Next, during the museum visit, students experience an inquiry-based guided tour in the HiSAM galleries, engage in an artmaking lesson with their Teaching Artist, and explore art concepts through hands-on activities in the "I Love Art Gallery." During the post-visit in the classroom, students review concepts and vocabulary as they reflect on the museum experience. Each segment actively engages students and teachers through inquiry-based activities connected to current arts standards and ELA Common Core Standards.

There is no cost to schools to participate in the program. In addition, the program also provides funds for bus transportation to the museum.

Application deadline: Friday, March 8, 2019.
