ARTS Residencies
Perkins Center's ARTS (Arts Reaching the Students) in-school residency program places professional artists in local schools for residencies ranging in length from 6 to 20 days. Individually designed projects build visual skills, teach problem-solving strategies and encourage communication among students. Perkins Center's artists work closely with the school's art and classroom teachers to incorporate and implement the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards into the ARTS learning process.
The ARTS Program is co-sponsored by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. Past programs in the southern New Jersey region have introduced students to a variety of media, including papermaking, fabric arts, sculpture, painting, theatre, jazz, African and modern dance, Native American arts and collage.
Themes incorporated into the residencies have included cultural diversity, environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and more.
