Arts in Education
Arts in Education provides cooperative performance scheduling of professional artists in the areas of dance, music, theater and the visual arts for component school districts. Performances occur in participating schools or at a performing arts center. Residencies in the arts are an integral part of this service and can be custom designed to fit district curriculum needs. All performances serve to enhance the regular curriculum and to integrate the New York State Learning Standards for the Arts. Participants have access to an online Arts in Education directory. Transportation and lodging for activities associated with this Co-Ser are not eligible for BOCES aid.
Scheduling Procedure
Teachers, please contact your administrator for approval if you would like to schedule an Arts in Education (AIE) performance and confirm that your district has Arts in Education funds available.
Determine which artist & program from the catalog you would like to book and schedule with them directly.
Submit an AIE Order Form with the district approver's signature to Jacqueline Duffey at least Three Weeks in advance of your scheduled date.
Please give BOCES a Months notice if you would like to book an artist outside of our catalog. We will need time get a contract in place and cannot process payment for artists not in our contracted catalog.
If a contract is unable to be formed Arts in Education funds will not be able to be utilized.
Arts in Education Pages are accurate to current contracts for the 24-25 school year.
If you would like to book a field trip from a vendor that is not listed, please reach out to Jduffey@btboces.org
