ArtsSmarts

The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia ArtsSmarts program provides support to enable schools across the province to bring artists into the classroom for collaborative creative projects.

ArtsSmarts projects provide an engaging way for students to consider the relationship between the arts and other areas of the school curriculum. Learning directly from a working Nova Scotian artist creates an authentic and memorable experience.
 

Artists are encouraged to incorporate artwork from the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia’s current exhibitions, permanent collection, programs, or online resources when designing an ArtsSmarts project.
 

Student engagement in the wider community is encouraged through outside partnerships and public exhibition of student work.

Have a project idea? Or interest in piloting a project developed by ArtsSmarts coordinators? More information is available at https://agns.ca/experience/for-educators/school-outreach/.

 

The 2023-2024 deadline for submitting ArtsSmarts project ideas is Friday, October 20, 2023.
