Arts Learning Resources for Teaching Artists
The Arizona Commission on the Arts strives to provide programs and funding for
teaching artists to develop their craft, content, and network with other
teaching artists and organizations.
Grants
As a teaching artist, several types of grants are available for you to apply for
to present community based or education based residencies, attend professional
development workshops and conferences outside of Arizona, and funding for
individual artist projects.
ACA has annual and year-round funding
opportunities that provide schools and out of school organizations to work with
teaching artists. If you are interested in connecting with schools on
presenting education-based residencies, download the District Arts Coordinator
List.
Professional Development Grants
are available year round for teaching artists to attend out of state
professional development workshops and conferences.

Residency Roster
The
Residency Roster
is a juried list of professional Arizona artists/companies in artistic
disciplines that work in schools and communities throughout the state.
Constituents
searching for a teaching artist are able to search the Residency Roster by
discipline, artist or company name and through a criteria search.
Residency Roster Artists are
offered several opportunities throughout the year. Roster Artists may
attend The Southwest Arts Conference sponsored
by the Commission at a discounted rate, at the end of the day Roster Artists
display and market their work at Connections Cafe to those who attend the
Southwest Arts Conference. The Café is held in the afternoon and open to
teachers, administrators, district arts coordinators who are interested in
working with teaching artists.
The Residency Roster is currently undergoing
a revision process. The Commission plans to open up the audition process
in late summer of 2008. If you would like more information on current
Roster Artist Policies, please CLICK HERE.
