Residency

Description

Students will create an individual painted segment that will contribute to a permanently displayed mural in the school, serving as a lasting representation of their unique voices and perspectives. The concept will be specified based on community and schools’ needs. Students will respond to introspective themes such as, “What makes you feel powerful?” and “What is your personal legacy?” By engaging with these profound questions, students explore their personal identities, values, and aspirations. This collective mural will become a symbol of the diverse strengths and legacies within the school community.

Pricing

Typically, residencies range from $2,500 and up, but we can use your available budget and ‘work backwards’ to create a cost-effective residency for your school. We may be able to assist you in securing grant and funding opportunities.

Residencies are tailored to your needs but usually include:

• • A kick-off assembly (performing arts only)
  • A required orientation meeting and planning session
  • A set of workshops for classes of up to 25 students each
  • A student culminating or sharing event
  • An evaluation meeting
