Roster of Approved Artists

Some programs which use Roster artists:

• The SC Arts Commission Arts In Education Program (AIE) places artists approved in Visual, Literary and Media Arts, Dance, Music and Drama in educational settings for residencies of one or more weeks. Artists may be contracted for shorter periods of time, according to the needs of the sponsoring organization. Teaching techniques and materials are geared toward the age and ability level of the students. A typical residency week includes twenty classes, a teacher workshop, and a community service.
• Arts in the Basic Curriculum Program (ABC) is designed to make art a basic component in the curriculum of South Carolina schools so that every child may have access to a comprehensive, sequential education in the arts. Approved artists may have limited opportunities to work in these programs as curriculum consultants and instructors. Artists interested in working as consultants should contact the ABC Project Coordinator at Winthrop University, 803-323-2451 or 800-277-0036.
• The SC Arts Commission Media Arts in Education Program places media artists at sites for residencies and provides activities, such as hands-on Super-8 film and video production, film study, a school film festival, and teacher training workshops. When available, film and video equipment is provided free to artists by the SC Arts Commission Media Arts Center.
• State Department of Education Programs (require teacher certification or SC Arts Commission Roster Approval):
  • Gifted and Talented Programs place a limited number of artists in dance, music, drama, crafts, and visual arts in schools throughout the state to work with students gifted in one of these media.
  • Target 2000 Arts in Education Grants Program supports Arts in Basic Curriculum (ABC) related projects in schools throughout the state. As in the ABC Program, artists may have opportunities to work as curriculum consultants and instructors in these programs. Artists interested in working as curriculum consultants should contact the ABC Project Coordinator at Winthrop University, 803-323-2451 or 800-277-0036.
