Enhance your Students’ Creativity: Invite an Artist into your Classroom!

Teachers can choose from a variety of projects in dance, literature, media arts, music, theatre and visual arts geared at students from JK to grade 12.

CLICK HERE to browse through the 2011-2012 Rosters to select the best project for your classroom. (www.arts.on.ca/Page631.aspx) 

Project descriptions and contact information for each artist are listed on the roster. Please book artists early to ensure their availability, as they book up quickly. 

OAC pays $42 per hour toward the artist’s fee for the duration of the project.

Schools pay a minimum of $8 per hour plus material costs. An artist’s engagement must be for at least 25 hours. The minimum fee payable by an educational partner for a 25-hour arts workshop is $200. (Please ask artists about their fees, as some have higher rates.) For every 25-hour project, an artist offers 20 hours of in-class delivery. The remaining 5 hours will be spent on preparation.
