Artists in Schools
The aim of the Artists in Schools (AiS) program is to provide students, teachers, parents and the wider community with first-hand opportunities to work with professional artists over a period of time, and experience the creative processes, skills, attitudes and disciplines the artist brings to their work. This program enriches school arts programs and encourages future artists and arts audiences in all art forms.
The NT Department of Employment, Education and Training and the Department of Natural Resources, Environment and the Arts jointly fund the AiS program through small grants to schools that enable the employment of a professional artist, or artists, to work with the school community.
TIO provides a broadform liability cover for artists who participate in the program. Please refer to the AiS insurance information below.
