Artists in Residence Program

The Tippecanoe Arts Federation is pleased to announce that thousands of students will have the opportunity to work directly with top professional artists for the second consecutive year. This opportunity has been made possible through a grant Tippecanoe Arts Federation received from the JP Morgan Chase Foundation. Funds will be used to provide libraries, community centers and schools with the ability to bring in artists that are trained, knowledgeable, practicing professionals that are enthusiastic and motivated, into settings where they can share the joy and benefits of the creative process.

Last year, this program benefited 10 counties throughout Region 4:  Benton, Carroll, Cass, Clinton, Jasper, Newton, Tippecanoe, Tipton, Warren, and White and brought the arts to a new level within our communities. Recipient organizations included the Frankfort Community Public Library, Delphi Public Library, Tipton County Public Library, Seeger High School, Happy Hollow Elementary, Child Development and Family Studies at Purdue University, Prairie Crossing Elementary and the Prairie Arts Council.

All residencies must be focused on programming that benefits young people. Applicants may request residencies in the literary, performing, or visual arts. Through residency programs in craft, dance, folk arts, interdisciplinary arts, literature, media arts, music, theatre and visual arts, schools and service agencies can expect to improve themselves and strengthen their communities.

In school settings, residency artists are prepared to connect to other curricular areas. Residency artists link the arts to areas beyond their artistic specialty enabling them to work with a diverse group of students and instructors. In nonprofit service settings, residency artists are sensitive to the needs of various communities and also the potential that lies within each individual.

*Residency to benefit the counties of Benton, Carroll, Cass, Clinton, Fountain, Howard, Jasper, Montgomery, Newton, Pulaski, Tippecanoe, Tipton, Warren and White.
