PAINTS Deadlines
For Artists
DEADLINE EXTENDED!
to July 1st
We'd love to add you to our list of PAINTS artists. Apply to become part of the program. PAINTS artists lead school-age kids in NS in art-making projects.
As much as possible, we hope that the projects you do with students involve impulses and media from your own practice.
Call or write to Andrea if you want to know more, or click on the forms & information on the right of your sceen.
For Schools
Next deadline is September 30
Members of the VANS Mentorship Program take up the invitation to play with Steudler's work. While on retreat at Ross Creek, they re-hung this wall arranging it by colour spectrum.
Helping to bring art and artists into your school community
PAINTS (Professional Artists In The Schools) is a program that helps schools in Nova Scotia bring professional visual arts into their classrooms. There are more than 60 artists that are part of PAINTS living and working in every part of NS. Projects can range from 3 hours to 12 hours, and can involve artists working in every imaginable discipline.
PAINTS projects make links between the professional artists’ own work and the workshops that they lead with the students. We’re really interested in providing the richest experience possible through these relatively small programs. A project can be with one class, or a small group of students and the brief application is filled out online through this website.
The school pays $20 per hour for the artist’s time. PAINTS makes up the other 50% and also provides some support for travel and materials costs.
This is a great and cost effective way to infuse more art into your school
Here you can find all you need to get involved weather you're a teacher or an artist.
