Residencies
| R | Residency Programs | | A Residency is a series of classroom visits by an individual artist, designed to help students gain proficiency in a particular art form by immersing them in a long-term creative experience. Young Audiences’ Residency Planning Agreement must be completed and signed by the artist and principal prior to the start of a residency. For residencies of 5 or more sessions per classroom, Young Audiences recommends a Teacher Workshop to heighten the impact on student learning and promote sustainability. |

Determining Costs
| To Determine the base cost of a residency:
| | | Use the following formulas to determine the basic cost of a Young Audiences residency. Materials, supplies and extra planning/preparation time will be additional.
Total number of sessions:
___ # of classrooms x ___ # of sessions/classroom = ___ (A)
Cost of sessions:
___ # of sessions (A) x $60/session = $__
+ Required Planning Meeting (B) = $60
Total cost (A+B) = $__
|
Example: Two second-grade and three third-grade classrooms at Elementary X will be taking part in a glass-tile residency (5 participating classrooms). Each classroom will spend five sessions with the artist (25 total sessions). Each session is $60 (25 sessions x $60/session = $1,500). Add $60 for the initial planning meeting ($1,500 + $60= $1,560). There will also be additional costs for materials and the artist's time for firing the children's artwork. |
