IN-SCHOOL PROGRAMMING
The Carnegie In-School programming sends teaching artists into Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati classrooms to facilitate arts integration workshops and residencies. These programs are tailored to each school’s needs, timeframe and goals.
Arts Integration Workshops and Residencies
Our arts integration workshops and residences bring arts integration directly into Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati classrooms. Each program combines elements of performing or visual arts that encourages students to convey their comprehension of non-art content areas like Science, Social Studies, History and English.
By integrating art content into these subjects our programs develop student creativity, critical thinking, perseverance, communication and pride. Our workshops and residencies create space for K-8 students to:
