Abstract

Arts Victoria supports a range of partnerships between schools and the professional arts sector across Victoria. These partnerships include Artist-in-Residence programs where artists spend a minimum of 20 days in a school, school-based Exposure-to-arts programs that involved sessions in schools by visiting arts organisations, and venue-based programs where students visit sites such as galleries, performing arts centres or museums. The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) also supports a range of these initiatives through their Strategic Partnerships Program (SPP). This study examined the literature in the area.

Outcomes

Engagement to conduct Phase 2 of the project.
