ARTISTS IN THE SCHOOLS


Salem Art Association’s Artists in the Schools (AIS) program serves Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties. The program is a collaborative effort between many individuals—principals, artists, teachers, parents—who cooperatively respond to the need within our region to include the arts in our children’s basic education. The partnerships developed among these individuals are a key element of the program’s success.


The AIS program provides a unique, hands-on approach to learning, in and through the arts. AIS has become a model program adopted statewide, providing the leadership that brings arts experiences to students of all ages. Its success stems from several distinctive features:

  1. •Programs are vibrant, responsive to community and school needs, and provide a variety of pathways to providing art experiences, education, and awareness.

  2. •Artists are carefully selected on the basis of professional achievement, skill in teaching young people, and ability to design in-school programs.

  3. •AIS partners with schools and institutions and helps take responsibility for their students’ art education.

  4. •Classroom teachers can attend special in-service sessions with the artists and are expected to view the arts as a crucial part of the school day.

  5. •Sites are encouraged to continue art programs after they finish working directly with an artist.

  6. •Performing artists are available for assemblies and workshops. For more information, see Performering Artists In the Schools (below).

  7. •Professional Development workshops for classroom teachers can be found in the Professional Development Workshops (below).
