Eight-week Residencies

ArtSpan then begins an Eight-week Artist Residency where Teaching Artists work on ongoing arts projects with each BCES class. In 2008, the residency began in December, so Resident Artists developed a three-week project for December and a five-week project for January and February. These final projects will be entered into the Youth Arts Festival Week in May, held at the de Young Museum.

Prior to beginning the Residencies, Teaching Artists meet with their corresponding BCES teachers to discuss their lesson plans and receive feedback.
