Arts in Education Overview

The Arts in Education Partnership, a division of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, places practicing, professional artists in residence in schools and community settings.


Funding is available for artist residencies to public and private schools, childcare centers, senior centers, units of government, other non-profit, tax-exempt organizations, and other institutions in Pennsylvania.

The program works with and through a network of AIE Partners comprised of local and regional arts organizations to support quality arts education programs.
