Creative Education Partnerships – Artist in Residence program
Grant application information
Arts SA, the Department for Education and Child Development (DECD) and the Australia
Council for the Arts invite professional arts organisations, to apply for funding to undertake
artists in residence activities in collaboration with South Australian schools in term four of
2014 and throughout 2015.
The Community Education Partnerships: Artists in Residence (CEP: AIR) is a national
initiative that teams professional artists with students and teachers in Australian schools.
Guiding principles
Applications to the CEP: AIR program need to be guided by the following:
Provide opportunities for arts organisations and artists to assist the education sector to meet
its curriculum needs. The residencies need to be long term (minimum of one month) to very
long term (three to four school terms), noting that the more successful projects that have
taken place in the pilot stages were implemented over the longer duration.
Provide a quality engagement timeframe so that the artists, teachers and students involved
can overcome the hurdle of unfamiliarity, establish trusting relationships and gain deeper
understanding of the project, the arts practice and each other in the context of the project.
The aim is for the residencies to be deep relationship building projects that have a long-term
impact on the students, the teachers, the artists and arts organisation and the schools’
culture.
The residencies should be established as authentic, meaningful artistic collaborations
between schools, arts organisations and artists across all aspects of the project’s delivery,
including teaching, learning, core creativity and project management.
Improve access to quality arts education by ensuring that professional learning opportunities
for teachers are integral to every residency and, by concentrating the program’s delivery in
the hands of professional arts organisations and associated artists, they will expose teachers
and students to high quality arts practice in action.
All art forms are welcome and the residencies need to be conducted by high calibre artists
who will deliver outcomes of the highest artistic merit. Residencies should also be
opportunities for artists to enhance their arts practice and gain a knowledge, understanding
and appreciation of the value of arts education and the role the artist can play within this.
The residencies will need to contribute to the students’ development of their own creative
understanding and abilities and, where appropriate, can incorporate performances,
exhibitions and public events. The residencies must always focus on quality processes and
be grounded in purposeful and authentic practice that sees the student as creator and
responder to art as they work alongside and with arts professionals and teachers.
Arts organisations are encouraged to explore the capacity for contributory funding
arrangements through the school sites they partner with, as well as with key stakeholders,
corporate and philanthropic supporters that could bring additional funding to the project.
Both the artistic and educational value of the project’s aims need to be articulated by both the
arts organisation and the school site and residencies need to have a broad-based impact on
the current and future delivery of the arts curriculum.
Through the residencies, opportunities for artists and teachers to work together on developing
effective teaching methods for arts practices will be explored.

Legal requirements for working within DECD schools
DECD policy requires that all artists participating in a residency must have a current,
approved, Criminal History Screening at all times during their prescribed duties on a DECD
site. Criminal History Screenings are obtained through the Department for Communities and
Social Inclusion (DCSI): http://www.decd.sa.gov.au/hrstaff/pages/default/screeningprocess/
DECD policy also requires that people working with children and young people in DECD
schools are aware of their child protection responsibilities and have received Responding to
Abuse and Neglect – Education and Care Training (RAN-EC). Information about RAN-EC
training requirements and how to access it can be found here:
http://www.decd.sa.gov.au/speced2/default.asp?id=32430&navgrp=2305
For those wishing to conduct research on DECD sites as part of the project, approval must
first be sought from DECD. Appropriate research processes and the application form to do so
are located here:
http://www.decd.sa.gov.au/research/pages/research/
Any costs associated with receiving Criminal History Screenings or RAN-EC training may be
included in the project budget.
Assessment
Arts organisations are encouraged to partner with schools that have not had a residency
before. (Please refer to Attachment A for a list of schools that have already participated in
this program.)
An arts and education sector peer assessment panel, as well as representatives of Arts SA,
DECD and the Australia Council, will assess proposals and provide recommendations for
funding.
Successful arts organisations will be required to enter into a funding agreement and provide
information and evaluation of the funded projects as well as adhere to reporting requirements
on key performance indicators and agreed outcomes.
