Definitions to Note:
A professional artist is defined as someone who has specialized training in the arts (not necessarily in
academic institutions); is recognized as a professional by his or her peers (artists working in the same
artistic tradition); is committed to devoting more time to his or her artistic activity, if financially possible;
and has a history of public presentation. (Source: Canada Council for the Arts)
Arts Integration is an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding
through an art form and engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject
area and meets evolving objectives in both. (Source: The Kennedy Centre)
This opportunity is made possible through funding support from the BC Arts Council and the
Government of British Columbia’s Creative Futures program.
