Due to funding and programming changes the Yukon Art Society is no longer able to administer the Community School Touring Program. We apologize for any disappointment. Instead, with funding from the Department of Education, we will be offering the Student Performance and Mentoring Program (SPAM). The program will fall under the umbrella of Artist in the School. We will have a smaller budget to work with - budget details are available in the application guidelines.
The primary goal of SPAM is to provide senior students in Yukon schools, in the communities and Whitehorse, opportunities to mentor with professional artists. Students in the schools that host a performance or project, such as a visiting theatre group or band, will have the benefit of positive peer role modeling and the opportunity to establish connections with students and professionals in their area of interest.
Larger project possibilities could include (but are not limited to)
Some smaller program possibilities could include (but are not limited to)
The AIS coordinator is available to work with teachers and contacts in the schools to help identify senior students who would benefit from participation in the SPAM program.
