PCA Artist Residency 2022-2023
ArtsQuest’s Arts in Education Partnership is one of 14 organizations across the
state that formally partners with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts to administer an Arts in Education (AIE) program.
Residencies can be placed in Pre-K-12 schools and community sites serving a diverse population for learners of all ages. Interested host sites can select a Teaching Artist representing a wide variety of visual and performing arts from the ArtsQuest/PCA Directory of Pennsylvania Artists in Education. During a residency, an artist may conduct in-person or virtual presentations. Host sites may request an assembly, a final production, and/or community participation; however, most of the time and work of a residency involves hands-on work with a small number of participants. Planning is an important part of the success of a residency. Residencies are developed collaboratively between the artist and the host organization. Planning conducted well before the beginning of the residency allows time for necessary arrangements to be made by both artist and residency host.
