Artist Roster
An artist roster listing the artists and services AIE provides is sent out to all schools in Linn and Benton counties each fall. The roster is updated every two years. Each year new artists are added to keep the mix as lively as possible. The application deadline for the 2000-02 roster is April 1, 2000. Applications are available at the Corvallis Arts Center. Professional artists who enjoy teaching are encouraged to apply. Experience working with children is helpful but not necessary.

Serving Linn
and Benton Counties
The Arts-In-Education residency program links professional artists with students of all ages. From school children to senior citizenscan take advantage of the AIE program. Schools, churches, at risk youth
facilities, and senior centers are all excellent sites for AIE residencies.

The AIE program is adaptable in its effort to serve as many local citizens as possible. A church group that wants to create a mural in their sanctuary or an at-risk youth organization that wants to augment its educational program with painting lessons are both opportunites for artist residencies. Schools most often use the program as a supplement to their arts curriculum to give students the opportunity to create
artwork on a one-on-one basis with a professional artist.

The Oregon Arts Commission, the NEA and local dollars fund the Arts-In-Education program, which is part of a statewide AIE network. A part-time AIE Coordinator is available at the Corvallis Arts Center.

Services and Information
Many services are offered through the AIE program. AIE is not only a residency program, it can also book assemblies, performances, resource artists, and regional folk arts and artists. Through the AIE statewide network arts education information is available including programs offered by the NW Film Center and the Oregon Folklife Program, which is
part of the Oregon Historical Society.

Of special interest is the Student Arts Tour program. A fund has been established that will pay one half of the total bussing costs for elementary schools to take an art-related field trip in the Linn/Benton area. Trip planning and arts venue information is available.

Artist-In-Residence Placement
Schools or groups interested in having an Artist-In-Residence may choose from a roster of artists the artist that best fits their needs. An on-site coordinator from the sponsoring organization or school is chosen to liason between the AIE coordinator and the group. The AIE coordinator and the on-site coordinator discuss the details and develop a contract regarding, the who, what, where, and when of the residency. The project and the number of students who will be involved determine the length of the residency.
