ARTISTS-IN-SCHOOLS PROGRAM

Since 2002, The Print Center’s Artists-in-Schools Program has provided art classes and field trips to public high school students.  Schools are rotated and selected for participation in part on the basis of need to include those least likely to be able to offer art instruction to their students and all are in disadvantaged minority high-risk neighborhoods.  Past participating high schools include West Philadelphia, Martin Luther King, Overbrook, Audenreid, Roxborough and Bok Technical High Schools. The program consists of two intensive twelve-week interactive courses in each school, conducted in the fall and spring semesters and meeting at least two times per week depending on activities planned.  Because of its impact on the children it serves, this program was recognized by the National Art Education Association in 2003 as a national model for contemporary public arts education.
