Our visiting artist program puts a professional, practicing artist right in your classroom. Each student will have the opportunity to complete one art piece based around traditional art foundations and skills. All supplies are provided and we will ensure each project is completed fully before students take them home.
Some lessons do require extra drying or a finishing stage that will need to completed back at the ASH Fine Arts studio. An example of this would be ceramics and the firing process, these finishing stages will affect when students take home their project so please be sure to note the "ETA of Completion" info listed with each of the lesson types. If a project requires drying time, the classroom will need enough counter space, about 2”x4", or a drying rack to house the projects as they dry. Rates are for an all inclusive lesson with a limit of 30 kids pre classroom. Pricing and lesson length varies slightly with the type of art you are looking to, here are you options:

This would be the same set up as the Visiting Artist program but with each student making a component piece that we will put together to create one large art piece that is then hung in the school for years to come.
By Classroom (max of 30 students): $400 per classroom for a 45min lesson for one classroom of students at a time. Multiple classrooms, one grade level, can collaborate on the same legacy project but complete portion separately in their own classroom. Depending on materials and complexity, the final project will be between 36'“x36” and 40”x60”.
By Grade Level (90-120 students): $650 per grade level for a 45min lesson for a full grade level to create that lesson at one time. This large of a class would require the use of a multi purpose room or large space with enough tables/ charis or lunch tables for all the artists. Depending on materials and complexity, the the final project will be between 36'“x36” and 40”x60”.
School Wide (500-600 students): $3,500 for the entire school to collaborate on one very large project. Each grade would meet in the multi purpose room to complete their part of the project and we would put all of the components together at the end so it is ready to be hung in the school for permanent display. Depending on materials and complexity, the final project will be between 40”x60” and 120”x 40”.
