About the NHS Artist in Residency Program

Call for Submissions

CLOSED

The Sheboygan North High School Artist in Residence (NHS AiR) Program started in the fall of 2014. Artists have collaborated with North High staff and students through various ways by implementing their love for art into other content areas. Art involves a variety of skills ranging from critical thinking to production, communication to responding, problem-solving to developing an artistic voice. Due to COVID-19, we have decided to offer a) in-person or b) virtual artist-in-residencies ranging from 9 weeks to 18 weeks. Interested in learning about our artist-in-residency scroll down.

The goals of the NHS Artist-in-Residence Program are:

to expand the experience of student in the field of the arts,
to foster creativity,
to enrich education through art education,
to present staff with new ideas and art-driven strategies.

Feel free to fill out the contact form if you have specific questions.
