In-School Programming
Artist In Residency
Arts for All Nevada offers up to 10 hours of free, high-quality art instruction for Pre-K through 12th-grade special education classrooms. An experienced Teaching Artist is paired with your class to develop and lead custom art lessons aligned with both State and National Arts Standards. Lessons are tailored in collaboration with classroom teachers to support students’ socio-emotional development and individualized learning goals. This program is provided at no cost to qualifying special education classrooms.
The Artist in Residency Program is generously supported by ArtsHERE, the City of Reno’s Arts and Culture Commission, the John Ben Snow Memorial Foundation, the Hawkins Foundation, the Redfield Foundation, NV Energy Foundation, the Marshal R. Matley Foundation, Wood Rogers, the Northern Nevada Community Foundation of Northern Nevada, Umpqua Bank Charitable Foundation, Teichert Foundation and the Nevada Arts Council. Additional funding comes from the statewide sale of the “Rich in Art” License Plates Program.
Workshops in Title I Schools
Beginning in October 2024, through a two-year grant from ArtsHERE, Arts for All Nevada will provide art workshops to students in five Title 1, disadvantaged, and at-risk schools. The project aims to serve grades K-5, integrates literacy and language arts components and includes 5 hours of instruction per student. Arts for All Nevada is dedicated to ensuring equitable access to arts education, enhancing educational outcomes for underserved students, and fostering community engagement through the arts. ArtsHERE is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with South Arts and in collaboration with the other five U.S. Regional Arts Organizations.
Art Instruction in General Education Classrooms
Arts for All Nevada offers engaging, grade-level appropriate art workshops right in your general education classroom for $70 per one-hour session. We provide subject-specific lessons tailored to your curriculum, seasonal or topical art activities, multi-lesson series covering the foundations of art, and more. All materials are included, and art workshops will take place in your classroom. General Education workshops are typically funded by a school’s PTA/PTO.
