You may have read about our program to put teaching artists in Berkeley County classrooms in the Journal (Thursday 8/23 edition).  Here’s the missing contact information: visit berkeleyartswv.org/education, or email us at AIE@berkeleyartsw.org. We want to hear from artists who want to teach, from teachers who would like a free program for their classroom, or from parents who would like to see this program available to their kids. We’re especially interested in connecting with science, technology, engineering or math subjects for an upcoming grant opportunity.  Our program serves Berkeley County schools.

This program is presented with financial assistance from the WV Division of Culture and History, and the National Endowment for the Arts, with approval from the WV Commission on the Arts; and by grants from the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation.

The Journal today has a story about our “Amplify the Arts” grant program.

We’re looking for some good proposals so we can support a wide variety of art projects in Berkeley County. Deadline is September 17.

The Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation offers a grant program for arts activities in support of school subjects related to Science, Technology, Education and Math (STEM).

The Berkeley Arts Council is seeking artists who also teach to be matched with classroom teachers in Berkeley County to bring their creative approach to instruction to students.

Details about the program and Teaching Artist Application forms are on the Berkeley Arts Council website at http://www.berkeleyartswv.org/education/

The deadline for teaching artists’ application is Monday August 20.

For more information, call 304-596-0873, or email berkeleyartswv@gmail.com and include STEM in the subject line. Teachers and parents: We need you for this program too! Help us connect to your school.
