"Artist in Schools Grant Program"
Arts Grant for your school!
"The aim of art education in the public schools is not to make more professional artists but to teach people to live happier, fuller lives: to extract more out of experience, whatever that experience may be."
Grant Wood, American painter
The mission of the Rockford Area Arts Council is to support, promote, and develop the arts for everyone! We are pleased to offer the 2006-2007 "Artists in Schools" Grant Program. When art becomes a partner in all areas of the curriculum, students become responsive and engaged learners. Through the arts you will be able to teach, reach, and engage students of all learning styles. Through the arts, you will create an exciting environment for students to deepen their understanding of the world and themselves. Through the arts you will bring joy into your classroom, and there is everything right about that!!!
Rockford has a vibrant arts community with extraordinary resources to enhance your students' learning through the arts.
Join us for limitless possibilities!
Five Programs designed for schools!!!
The "Artists in Schools" Program is available to all public and private schools in Winnebago County. We offer five programs:

3. "Arts Field trips" Your class goes on a field trip to an arts facility
4. "SchoolTour" Local artist(s) perform for your school
5. "Staff Development In-services" Artists present arts-integration ideas for use in the classroom
