Artist in Residence Program


The AOFTA “Artist in Residence” program supporting the arts in Williamsburg / James City County Public Schools will bring a practicing artisan into a school for a period of time to work on a specific project approved by the school board and the school which will result in a substantiative public art installation.
The wealth of knowledge and experience that teaching artists bring to the classroom is unparalleled. They excite students about their art area of expertise and provide a depth of knowledge to both students and teachers. This program is designed to provide an invaluable experience to students through hands-on support, engagement by the entire student body and a community-building experience.
Any donations to this program are gratefully appreciated.
