Side by Side
Looking for a way for your students to have enriching, fully inclusionary, educational arts experiences that interface with your curriculum and enhances learning?
Twenty-five to thirty $1,400.00 awards will be given out to schools across Kentucky for arts projects that include students of all abilities. This program was designed by Arts for All Kentucky (in partnership with the Kentucky Dept. of Education) to provide opportunities and experiences in the arts for all children (with and without disabilities) that interface with KAS (Kentucky Academic Standards) and the classroom curriculum in mainstream settings. This is an opportunity for classroom teachers (academic, special education, art teachers/specialists) and artists (in the arts disciplines of dance, drama, literary arts, music, storytelling, or visual arts) to work together to plan a fully inclusionary arts project for a group as small as 25 children to a larger group. Any project idea that provides experiential, enriching, adaptive experiences in an art form(s) for all students is worthy of our consideration.
Funding for the Side by Side program in communities across the state comes from generous support of WHAS Crusade for Children and the Kentucky Department of Education, Division of Learning Services.
