PAINTS (Professional Artists in the Schools) is a program that helps schools throughout Nova Scotia to bring professional artists into their classrooms. Artists are members of both Visual Arts Nova Scotia (VANS) and the Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council (NSDCC).
PAINTS artists are paid $40 per project hour.The school contributes $20/hour, and PAINTS provides $20/hour. We also provide some support for supplies and travel expenses for artists. The program can support up to 24 hours per shool year at an individual school. That can be as one project or a few!
The purpose of the PAINTS program is to put professional artists in schools to work with students, and to share as much as possible their own art practice. More on PAINTS history and Objectives can be found here.
PAINTS is a program of VANS and is made possible through the support of The Nova Scotia Department of Tourism, Culture and Heritage & The Nova Scotia Department of Education.
