Education Residencies
The Education Residencies provide an opportunity for Tasmanian artists to focus on their practice in an educational environment working alongside teachers and students. Residencies build young people’s capacity to engage with the arts whilst enhancing student social health and well-being, and allowing artists to inspire, re-connect or introduce teachers to new ideas and approaches.
The residencies will be offered in selected Department of Education secondary schools and independent schools in the north, north west and south of the state between February and July 2022.
Calls for Expressions of Interest were invited from schools state-wide to participate in the program over a three-year period. Schools are selected from this pool, and discussions with the Department of Education, each year and matched after the artists have been selected.
Applications are currently closed. Sign up for Arts Tasmania’s newsletter for funding and program announcements.
