The Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County announced the expansion of its Artists in Schools program, which will benefit participating Cumberland County Schools for the current and next school year.
The Artists in Schools program is one of the longest-running arts programs at the Arts Council, according to Kennon Jackson, Arts Council grant manager. The program allows schools in Cumberland County to access teaching artists to bring into the classroom to create learning experiences for students.
Teaching artists are professional artists and educators who integrate the creative process into schools and classrooms.
Last month, the Fayetteville Arts Council announced the expansion of their Artists in Schools program from nine Title 1 schools in 2019 to 26 now participating. Title 1 schools have a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
