Artist in Residence Programs

Arts4All Florida coordinates artist in residence programs in schools and Department of Juvenile Justice facilities throughout the State of Florida. Residencies are tied directly to Florida Standards and increase the artistic skills and cognitive learning of students with and without disabilities, as well as provide a venue for students to express themselves creatively in appropriate ways.

For more information on residency programs, please contact our Director of Education, Dee Miller.
