Art education benefits student academic success and personal development. Partnering with art organizations and independent artists not only positively impacts our students and schools but leads to a more culturally vibrant community.
We are excited you are interested in sharing your talents with our students.
We have several ways you can get involved:
Artist Roster
Artists apply to be a part of the Roster and teachers use this roster to search for artists based on areas of expertise. This roster is available for viewing on our internal website for all our teachers and schools. Schools will contact the arts organizations or individual artists they would like to work with. If you are an artist or arts organization interested in working with our schools, we encourage you to join our Art Roster.
Requirements:
- Complete the
Artist Roster Application
- Provide proof of valid of insurance and WCB coverage
- Have a current vulnerable sector search Police Information Check
If you have any questions, please contact our School Improvement department at
ArtistRoster@cbe.ab.ca.
Visiting Artists
Individuals and arts organizations not on the Artist Roster can also be engaged directly by schools as visiting artists. Visiting artists can take many forms, but can be volunteers or contracted. Artists hoping to express their interest in working with CBE schools are encouraged to apply to the Artist Roster.
Requirements:
- Provide proof of valid of insurance and WCB coverage
- Have a current vulnerable sector Police Information Check
Artists Working in the Classroom
Before you join us in the classroom, the teacher or principal will connect with you directly to discuss learning goals, negotiate services provided, and school/CBE policies.
Before you begin your work at CBE you must review the
