Fill out the PAINTS Artist Application Form
Artist applications are reviewed twice a year. Deadlines for the review panels are August 1st and December 1st, but please send your application at any time and we’ll make sure it’s considered at the next review.
The form is fill-able online. If you’d rather a hard copy to fill out, please call Andrea, the PAINTS Co-ordinator at 423-4694, or stop by the VANS office. Click here to go to the form.
And then...
Your profile will be posted on the website within 2 weeks of being approved by the review panel. As the school deadlines approach teachers and principals will need to contact artists to discuss and plan projects.
Or, contact schools in your area yourself.
The project applications are submitted by schools, but we encourage you to get in touch with schools in your local community to make them aware of the program, your own work, and even project ideas.
You can get contact information for all public schools in Nova Scotia at Department of Education website.
