Urban Bright

Arts-in-Education Program

Art House’s award winning Urban Bright Arts-in-Education Program is an artist residency program that provides students with meaningful, hands-on arts opportunities and exposure to artists, methods, and materials to which they would otherwise not be exposed. The program aims to promote critical thinking, improve communication skills, and increase each students’ ability to participate in teamwork settings.

Through grant funding, AH is able to provide the Urban Bright residency programs to individual schools. AH works with schools to tailor an artist residency appropriate for a specific grade and group of students (classroom). AH coordinates the residency, providing a qualified and professional artist, all supplies, and an agreed upon curriculum.

Here are examples of students’ feedback on what the Urban Bright program means in their lives:

“I like Art House because art takes me to a new place and art will take me to college.”

“I love to enamel. It lets me tell my feelings in art, not (emphasis hers) in words or physically. I just wish I could come here every day.”

“This is very fun and I want to do it again. It inspires me to do my very best.”

“I love Art House. I love to draw and I can express my creativity here.”
