Resources for Educators

Changing Learning Through the Arts

We believe everyone should have opportunities to express themselves through the arts—a movement that starts with our formal and non-formal educators. Learning through the arts encourages personal development and student achievement and provides opportunities to cultivate and grow talents and appreciation for the arts. This belief fuels our dedication to the educators that make arts experiences possible for students. Find out more about our resources and programs for educators below:

Arts Education Residencies

Overture Center for the Arts is proud to present arts programs led by trained and experienced professional artists in Literary Arts, Visual Arts, Drama/Theatre, Dance and Music available for both classroom and community education settings. Sessions are designed for six visits with the artists but are adjustable to fit your needs. A stipend is available for qualifying schools.

Professional Development Workshops

Experts in arts-integration strategies provide educators with tools and support to transform their classrooms. For the most impact, we suggest booking these for teaching teams or a school-wide approach but they also available for community and district settings.

Throughout the year we also offer a select number of free interactive workshops and demonstration teaching opportunities. This year we are co-presenting the WI Arts Integration Symposium.
