Morris Arts – Artist Residency Programs

It’s been a busy a school year so far with Morris Arts – Artist Residency programs taking place in many of our local schools. These programs provide students with creative, hands-on experience in the arts. Professional teaching artists guide student learning in a variety of art forms such as Dance, Visual Arts, Theatre, Storytelling, Music and more. These programs provide innovative ways of learning about a variety of subjects.
