The ArtsCenter’s Artist in Residence (AIR) Program <br />Overview 2023-2024 <br /> <br />The Artist in Residence (AIR) program is an arts education program that integrates the arts into <br />the grade level curriculum to further strengthen student’s learning, engage and empower students <br />through creative educational experiences, while helping each student to reach a fuller potential. <br /> <br />The AIR program serves four Title I “Focus” schools: Grady Brown, Central, New Hope and Efland <br />Cheeks Elementary. <br /> <br />All grade levels at each of the Focus schools are given two arts-based offerings- a five day in <br />person residency with a professional teaching artist, and an opportunity to see a live performance <br />by a professional theater company. <br /> <br />During the 5-day artist residency, the professional teaching artists introduce various art forms <br />such as computer graphics, electronic music, ceramics, mime, dance, music, drumming, <br />storytelling and poetry which celebrated friendship and encourage students to embrace both <br />their similarities and especially their differences. These art experiences help the children foster <br />a sense of empathy and understanding. They explore their imaginations and creative ideas <br />while building confidence and connections through positive, creative educational lessons. The <br />teaching artists for this school year include Briama Moiwai, Charles Pettee, Heather Pike, Jason <br />Abide, Jason Mullinax, Rosendo Pena, Tamala Boone, Virginia Queen Danford and Willa <br />Bringham. <br /> <br />During the school show performances, the Children’s Theater of Charlotte (CTC) tours 2 <br />assemblies, one K-2nd grade assembly and one 3rd-5th grade assembly, at the schools. All <br />teachers will be given an educational supplement by CTC with additional lesson plan ideas to <br />integrate into the curriculum and prepare the students for the performance. <br /> <br />AIR 2023-2024 Budget Planning <br /> <br />Program Costs <br />School Show Performance Assemblies <br />Children’s Theater of Charlotte (CTC) Touring Assemblies <br /> <br />Grady Brown Elementary <br />K-2nd Grade Assembly $1000 <br />3rd- 5th Grade Assembly $1000 <br /> <br />Efland Cheeks Elementary <br />K-2nd Grade Assembly $1000 <br />3rd- 5th Grade Assembly $1000 <br /> <br />Central Elementary <br />K-2nd Grade Assembly $1000 <br />3rd- 5th Grade Assembly $1000 <br /> <br />New Hope Elementary <br />K-2nd Grade Assembly $1000 <br />3rd- 5th Grade Assembly $1000 <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: C2B96527-299D-49EA-8500-E9B9FFD1E6BF
