“logic will get you from a to b. imagination will take you everywhere!” – albert einstein
I am listed artist on the Arkansas Arts Council’s Arts in Education Roster and am available for residency and workshop opportunities within a school setting or community organization. I will use the arts as a tool to assist with teaching the core curriculum, further the knowledge and experience of young artists in their artistic field, and guide adults through a creative process in music and theatre. Participants can expect to gain a strong foundation in music, theatre, and/or musical theatre skills through a nurturing environment that allows participants to find freedom in their expression of knowledge in a variety of subjects. These experiences will build upon each student’s individual skills, allowing them to better communicate and collaborate with others, and learn strategies to grasp new concepts.

ARTIST FEES
Hourly = $60.00 (no more than 4 hours/day)
1 day = $240 (four hours contact time)
1 week = $1,200 (five working days)
1 month = $4,800 (four weeks)
ARTIST TRAVEL
If I live more than 35 miles from the residency site, reasonable round trip travel expenses may be requested. Travel by car should be estimated at 42 cents per mile.
LODGING & MEALS
If a school or organization requesting a multi-day residency is more than 50 miles away accommodations may be requested. Schools/organizations working with a mini-grant for the residency will find that the Arkansas Arts Council “will fund meals at $55 per day and lodging expenses up to a maximum of $94 plus tax per night for the artist during the In-School Residency program. If an artist must travel more than fifty miles per day, it is recommended he or she stay overnight in the site’s community. Prior to submitting an In-School Residency application, the sponsoring organization or school should consult with the artist to determine acceptable lodging arrangements prior to submitting the application. Sponsors are encouraged to pursue possible in-kind donations for lodging.
FUNDING ASSISTANCE
Thanks to the support of the Arkansas Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts educators and organizations can apply for a mini-grant that will provide a 1:1 match to assist with the investment of an arts in education residency.
