PCA Long Term AIE Residency Pilot

PCA selected PAEP to receive one of two statewide grants to develop a long term residency model for urban schools.

Photographer Lonnie Graham, Sculptor Adam Parker Smith, and Filmmaker Anula Shetty will facilitate students' learning experiences in photography, doll making, and film making.

The Arts in Education (AIE) division places practicing, professional artists in residence in schools and community settings. These artists are listed in the Directory of Pennsylvania Artists in Education, which is a juried list of artists with expertise in education. The division fosters educational improvement through participation in the creative process in schools and community settings, via residencies, projects, and partnerships between schools or other educational institutions, artists, and arts organizations.

PAEP facilitates the process of selecting artists for inclusion in the Directory of Pennsylvania Artists in Education. Recommendation as a rostered artist is a three-step process. Once the application is received, a panel of peers reviews the artistic credentials of the applicant. Those recommended to the next stage meet with a panel for an interview and the opportunity to discuss plans for a typical 10-day residency. Artists who succeed at this stage are then required to demonstrate to peer observers their teaching expertise in a workshop/school setting. From this process a recommendation is made to the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, which makes the final decision for inclusion on the AIE roster.
